PyPI is great because it is a central resource for Python packages. PyPI sucks because it is a central resource. Pip has the problem that it requires administrator access to install into the base Python installation. Virtualenv is great because it replicates the base Python in a user malleable way and makes pip trivially usable. Go allows for any Git, Mercurial, Bazaar repository that is appropriately structured to be used as a package source. We all use Git, Mercurial and Bazaar for source code control, isn't this the technology we are looking for? > We can't be the first people on the planet trying to distribute > additional software packages...there has to be a solution out there. > Let's find and use it, instead of inventing our own. ;) Every programming language invents its own build system and packaging system. Except perhaps C and C++. QED ;-) Go is the first language I know to simply embrace Git, Mercurial and Bazaar as the tools of package management. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
