pip does not contain compiled code (e.g. scipy needing fortran, etc. is compiled every time when installed), for that use http://pythonwheels.com/ (what was 'eggs' in the old days) > [19:24:00] <AbdealiJK> DrTrigon_, the package uploader can make binaries for their package. But the binary may not be for your system, hence it compiles in such cases > [19:24:24] <DrTrigon_> kubuntu is not uncommon, right? > [19:24:25] <jayvdb> ^ the binary wheel format, a Python spec, not a pip thing > [19:24:36] <AbdealiJK> DrTrigon_, For example, the `dlib` package owner only makes binaries for windows (on the other hand, the fact that pip compiles code is good for us) TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T136985 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: DrTrigon Cc: jayvdb, AbdealiJK, Aklapper, pywikibot-bugs-list, DrTrigon, Zppix, Lethexie, Jay8g _______________________________________________ pywikibot-bugs mailing list pywikibot-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/pywikibot-bugs
