Well, pip hasn't been (and still isn't) a formal prerequisite for building Sage, but meanwhile a standard package of Sage, unlike Python*. We may use a system version (and not build Sage's) in the long run, but that requires tweaking Sage's top-level 'configure' (and the parts of the build system it generates). -leif ____________ * Incidentally I also just "fixed" sage-spkg w.r.t. (still) requiring *Sage's* python to be already installed just because some package happens to have a Python /install script/, like for example ATLAS. This is kind of the opposite case of the original issue. After in addition removing (Sage's) python from ATLAS' dependencies, it (and hence everything that depends on it) now gets built *far* earlier, namely as (one of) the first package(s) [besides the "toolchain" parts it doesn't require either unless one is also building Sage's GCC]. I had to make a couple of changes to Sage's install scripts for ATLAS in order to let it build with (a system) python 2.6, the (inofficial?) minimum version we require to build Sage, as well, but now it works. Not sure whether there are other packages where we could do the same (or similar). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-release" group.
