We use them in the pyvenv solution (and soon in the virtualenv de-policy-violating solution) because they're the best way (IMHO) of solving the technical implementation details with devendorizing pip and virtualenv and their recursive dependencies. That's why for example, we *don't* use wheels to devendorize requests or urllib3 when used as a module, but we do use them in pip within the virtual environment. -Barry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
