I'm pretty certain I used to be able to do this, though I'm not sure how
long ago it was:
{{{
pip install https://github.com/django/django/archive/master.zip
}}}
which is ostensibly the quickest way to get a copy of `master` (currently
targetting `1.9.x`) without doing a `git clone`, which takes a bunch of
time. It's also the easiest way of setting up continuous integration
against `master` (eg: I think one of the ways in which I previously used
this was to have travis-ci build using it to check for upcoming failues)
This no longer works, giving the following traceback:
{{{

the `path` at the point of error is:
{{{
path = u'django-
master/tests/staticfiles_tests/apps/test/static/test/\u2297.txt'
}}}
I raised a bug against [https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/2729 pip
itself] assuming that the lack of unicode handling was a problem in pip,
but a response suggests that there is no safe fix for their end (because
of how zip works?) and that Django ought to create & destroy such test
files as part of the test case, rather than statically embedded on a known
path, which seems sensible enough, if it's feasible in the test cases
which touch such files.
