Of course, but not all our SPKGs are on PyPI or even have anything to do with Python at all. In any case, Burcin's solution of using Gentoo Prefix is appealing to me because it uses an installation system with managed backwards compatibility (EAPI versioning) which has been used by very large numbers of people for more than a decade now, whereas the various Python package management solutions seem to keep getting deprecated and replaced every couple of years... I think you've run into just such problems, as evidenced by a post on your Google+ account back in July :) -Keshav -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
