Hi all,
thanks for all your feedback! Here is a revised proposal:
- for CPython interpreters:
- always install py.test (so the last install wins)
- additionally install py.test with a version suffix (sys.version_info[:2])
meaning: py.test2.4 py.test2.5 py.test3.1 etc.
(if enough people prefer a dash before the version info, i'll do a dash :)
- install the other little py.cleanup/py.lookup/py.svnwcrevert etc.
development tools without version suffix
- for PyPy and Jython:
- install py.test-pypy, py.test-jython
i.e.: no py.test proper and no version numbers (yet)
- don't install the other development tools at all because it's unlikely
users will want them to override the cpython mediated ones, particularly
Jython which has a high startup overhead.
Additionally i can imagine honoring an environment variable
PYTEST_INHIBIT_VERSIONINSTALL=...
which would inhibit the creation of py.test$SUFFIX binaries.
This is useful for people working with virtual environments
or PEP370 which already manages per-interpreter versions.
Sounds fine?
also on windows?
cheers,
holger
