Ok, if I remove the whl from the cache, it gives me the tar.gz, and now this is expected. And as we said perhaps download does not check for cached wheels anymore (where can I ask to confirm this? the github project sends here, perhaps I create a new topic with that exact question).
How is that whl ending up there? Here is my lead: I am using pybuilder and calling install_runtime_dependencies against a requirements.txt, and this caches the whl. Maybe this is a feature of pybuilder to speed up future builds, but in this case I am back asking what's in the topic title: what are the implications of having whl vs tar.gz? (consider that I am shipping those dependencies along in my deployments, which are not guaranteed 100% to be the same combination of SW/HW of the building agent) On Fri, Jan 20, 2017 at 1:16 PM, Donald Stufft <don...@stufft.io> wrote: > > On Jan 20, 2017, at 3:50 AM, Diego Costantini <diego.costant...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > I also noticed that I am on pip 8 which deprecates --download already, and > on latest documentation <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#id20>, > they still reference only that old syntax, but they also mention something > that might have changed: > > >> Note that pip install --download will look in your wheel cache first, >> before trying to download from PyPI.
