Sure, but that is a lot of setup for one morning of installs. The
benefit of the point-click installer is that the student can download
everything they need in their own time.
devpi is pretty easy to setup but I understand your point-click, er, point.
Purely regarding wheels - as far as I can tell they're not perfect yet.
We
dropped them from openpyxl because we couldn't stop them packaging
"kitchen sink". This has already disappointed one person but
particularly
for people who just want something installed, we only want to ship the
package.
Would you mind saying more about what went wrong there? Wheels will
install all the listed dependencies, but if there are dependencies you
don't want, and are not necessary, then the package maintainer needs
to know... That would be the same for wheels as for a source install,
as far as I know.
It's not dependencies but not respecting the exclusions we use for sdist.
