YMMV, but it just adds busywork; easier to hand maintain a list of pinned top-level packages. As for (optimistically or pessimistically) pinned dependencies, I usually pin them on a case-by-case basis. Packages from pypi may specify dependency as ">=" and it will fetch the > latest.

Except I recall hitting this when we were moving to py3k and one of the 'newer' packages of a dependency of something we were depending on added code that was beyond 2to3's capability. :P - d _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
