there are ways to use pip without internet, with the necessary wheels pre-fetched. That's what Sage does with wheel packages.
Yes. This is a sage package of source type "wheel", as Matthias explained. The difference between wheel packages vs pip packages is that the latter don't require pre-fetched wheels, and absence of the need for package (micro)management. So your proposal is to let a standard' package to be installed by pip via internet. Hence your proposal suggests to break the rule that sage-the-distribution can be installed without internet connection. If so, breaking the rule (that is, assuming internet connection at install time) is more substantial content of your proposal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
