However, the patch I've suggested provides a way for people to allow github installs without adversely affecting those using the PyPi package. Maybe you don't see it from your end because you're already familiar with how your system is working, but I wasted a good chunk of time trying to figure out why installing from github didn't bring all the necessary files with it. I'm just trying to suggest incorporating something to prevent further people from wasting time on this same issue. The arguments against adding setuptools-git across the board was that it was an un-needed requirement for those using PyPi and this circumvents that issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
