Re: [Distutils] PEP 517: Build system API

I wouldn't be afraid of editable installs. They are trivial and involve building the package in place and putting a .pth file where it will be noticed. Specify editable packages can't necessarily be uninstalled in a standard way and you are done. The bespoke build tool tells pip where the package

Re: [Distutils] Packaging multiple wheels in the same archive

This then ties into Kenneth's pipfile idea he's working on as it then makes sense to make a wagon/wheelhouse for a lock file. To also tie into the container aspect, if you dev on Windows but deploy to Linux, this can allow for gathering your dependencies locally for Linux on your Windows box and

Re: [Distutils] PEP 517: Build system API

Thanks for starting this up again! My vote is for 1c (easier to add 1a later), and dashes (for some reason I just like how they look more in config files). On Wed, Nov 23, 2016, 06:36 Thomas Kluyver, wrote: > I'd like to push PEP 517 forwards again. This PEP specifies a

[Distutils] PEP 517: Build system API

I'd like to push PEP 517 forwards again. This PEP specifies a general build system interface so that a source tree can specify a tool (such as flit), and pip can ask that tool to generate a wheel. This would allow us to install from an sdist or a VCS checkout without running a setup.py file.
