Someone mentioned this morning that they hadn't realized I'd put out a
webrev that was more than an FYI one. My apologies for being unclear.
Anyway, this is a real webrev (ie, it passes the test suite, has been
pylinted, and I've made an effort to cleanup and remove dead code).
Specific things I still have questions remaining about:
Should I include/allow the -a/-p command options which duplicate the
functionality of putting '<>' or not around the entire query? Right now,
I'm leaning towards removing these options and simply relying on <>. The
reason for having -a/-p would be if we wanted to make returning lists of
packages the default behavior, and have users have to specify -a to get
the traditional behavior.
I have to agree with Danek; '<>' might be nice for a power-user, but
it's going to be rather opaque for most. I would expect a command line
flag to determine how the results are returned.
Some more examples of different combinations of using '<>' and not using
'<>' are needed.
Cheers,
