Hi, I'm using install_requires in setup.py to specify a specific package my project is dependant on. When running python setup.py install, apparently the simple index is used as an older package is taken from pypi. While in https://pypi.python.org/pypi, there's a newer package. When installing directly using pip, the latest package is installed successfully. I noticed that the new package is only available as a wheel and older versions of setup tools won't install wheels for install_requires. However, upgrading setuptools didn't help.
Several questions: 1. What's the difference between the pypi simple index and the general pypi index? 2. Why is setup.py defaulting to the simple index? 3. How can I make the setup.py triggered install use the main pypi index instead of simple Thanks!
