New submission from Brett Cannon: If you look at https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html it lists two commands:
python -m pip install SomePackage==1.0.4 # specific version python -m pip install 'SomePackage>=1.0.4' # minimum version If you notice that beyond the change from `==` to `>=`, you will notice one quotes its argument while the other one doesn't. This is a UNIX shell thing due to what `>` means. But if you don't know how the UNIX shell works this could be easily overlooked. It would be best to simply quote both examples and avoid people messing up by leaving off the quotes. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 257536 nosy: alexis, brett.cannon, docs@python, dstufft, eric.araujo, lemburg, ncoghlan, paul.moore, tarek priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Update https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html to always quote arguments type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26017> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
