[17:07:10] <dstufft> jaraco: sorry that I dropped the ball on the PEP 440 stuff, I'm getting the new stuff to handle legacy specifiers into packaging now
[17:07:28] <jaraco> oh, great. I wasn't sure if I was waiting on you or vice versa.
[17:07:56] <jaraco> I'd been meaning to double-check that PR to see the status.
[17:07:58] <dstufft> it's written, I'm just fixing tests/writing new tests
[17:08:17] <dstufft> since packaging requries 100% test coverage to merge a PR
[17:08:46] <jaraco> ambitious, but glad to hear it.
[17:09:34] <xafer> hello, is there a way to force the creation of a pure wheel ?
[17:10:17] <xafer> even when distutils is saying the distribution isnt pure
[17:10:44] <dstufft> xafer: uh, I'm not sure. I don't think so other than renaming the file
[17:16:30] <xafer> wanted to make a "meta" package with only requirements and extras and no python module, but if there is no python file, distutils consider the distribution as non pure :-/
[17:29:29] <DanielHolth> I thought we'd fixed that bug in bdist_wheel, sorry xafer
[17:30:36] <DanielHolth> Basically the is_pure method from distribute does a check approximately like "has_extension or has_python" and when it has neither you get a None instead of True / False.
