sorin added the comment: Can't we do something about this bug? I think that most python devs are ignoring the severity of this one, especially because it does break distribution of packages (or at least their testing)
On OS X the experience is awful as --user doesn't work at all and as a maintainer of many python packages I end-up with a case where installing packages for the current user doesn't work. It works well on all other platforms but not on OS X (when you have the brew python). We cannot really expect all the package developers to spend a lot of time creating new scenarios only for trying to bypass this bug. For the sake of our Python users let's fix this and make the Python experience a good one, especially for people that do not have much experience with python. Maybe Santa will get my message ;) Wish you happy holidays! ---------- nosy: +sorin _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22269> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
