The reasoning behind my request was that providing a way to do steps from the command-line is good. pysetup install figures dependencies + downloads + builds and installs; I think it’s good to let user do each step at a time, or at separate time. Packaging systems and installers like pip support this usage. (I was mistaken in suggesting a command though; commands work in a project directory.) ---------- title: Add a command to download distributions -> Add options to distutils2.install and pysetup install to only download versions: +3rd party, Python 3.4 -Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8371> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
