Comment (by charpent):
Extract from [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-
devel/p2l0EUkSsOo this question] on sage-devel :
My pip upgrade showed me that this upgrade entails :
* an upgrade to {{{six}}}, which is already packaged in Sagemath (no
problem)
* installing the {{{singledispatch}}} package, which is '''NOT'''
packaged.
ISTR that, on sage-devel, it has been decided that a new package should
remain optional for at least a year before becoming a standard package. If
we follow this policy, the standard package rpy2 would depend on the
optional package singledispatch. This seems a bit incoherent...
Another solution would be to keep the standard rpy2 package at 2.3.8, and
have a rpy2-newer optional, depending on {{{singledispatch}}}. This seems
a bit contrived, to say the least. Furthermore, I do not know how to
proceed...
A third solution would be to silently include singledispatch in the source
to rpy2. This "solution" seems to ''guarantee'' future incompatibilities.
What should I do ?
Bonus question : how to package rpy2 to signal that it depends on
singledispatch ?
