Hi, on pip version 8 (I know we are at 9 now :) ) I started getting deprecation warnings when using "pip install --download".
So I did what suggested and moved to "pip download". This change did not preserve the behavior. Before I was getting all whl dependencies downloaded, now some of them are tar.gz. pip install --download=../lib "$SRC_PYTHON_PACKAGE" Collecting fastdtw==0.3.0 (from myPackage) Saved /path/fastdtw-0.3.0-cp27-none-any.whl pip download -d ../lib "$SRC_PYTHON_PACKAGE" Collecting fastdtw==0.3.0 (from myPackage) Using cached fastdtw-0.3.0.tar.gz Saved /path/fastdtw-0.3.0.tar.gz Why did this happen and what are the implications of having a tar.gz vs whl (I did not find anything conclusive in my search so far)? Some further info. This happens for: 1 - deps built by me as tar.gz (how did they end up in my folder as whl before?) 2 - 3rd party deps 3 - Looking for the cache, I cannot find the tar.gz in my system -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "virtualenv" group.
