Based on discussions on IRC, we have a patch for pip 6.0 that I've backported to the Debian packaged version. I believe it does the right thing now:
# pip install requests Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): requests in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages Cleaning up... # pip install requests --upgrade Downloading/unpacking requests from https://pypi.python.org/packages/py2.py3/r/requests/requests-2.5.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl#md5=9d29a8a0210c236d9329bed49277b3fa Downloading requests-2.5.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (464kB): 464kB downloaded Installing collected packages: requests Found existing installation: requests 2.4.3 Not uninstalling requests at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, owned by OS Successfully installed requests Cleaning up... I'll double check this, but I think we have a winner. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
