Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Ned, I agree with you in principle, and would have preferred that this had been handled by PPA/distutils/PIP folk. But see at least the first 4 messages on the original issue #23551, Feb 28 2015, where Donald Stufft says he would like to see it happen but would not do it.
Hightlights of the rest: In the first month of discussion others said yes, great idea. 6 months later, in September, I posted some proof of concept results. About 5 months later, I suggested on core-mentorship that this would be a good GSOC project and a few days later Upendra expressed interest. Another student joined the competition in March. March 27, I posted on pydev "Adding a Pip GUI to IDLE and idlelib (GSOC project)" https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2016-March/143586.html and said at the top "Before I commit to mentoring a student (sometime in April), I would like to be sure, by addressing any objections now, that I will be able to commit the code when ready (August or before)." I ended the post with two possible objections. As it turns out, no one objected. Ethan Furman and Nick Coughlin strongly approved, the latter at https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2016-April/143611.html ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27051> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
