I always use pip. ________________________________ From: robo...@news.nic.it <robo...@news.nic.it> on behalf of Joe Pfeiffer <pfeif...@cs.nmsu.edu> Sent: Friday, April 3, 2020 11:54:31 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: python3 modules -- apt vs pip?
I've been using apt (and friends) to maintain my systems, including python. Today I discovered the Debian version of the more-itertools module is on version 4.2.0 and is three years old. Meanwhile, the version documented on pypi.org is at version 8.2.0, and has at least one recipe whose arguments are in a different order from the Debian packaged version (grouper, whose order of arguments changed in version 6.0.0). This causes problems, as you might imagine, with other modules! So... do people generally use pip to maintain their python libraries, rather than apt? What's the recommended best practices here?
