[09:20:11] <ionelmc> anyway, there may be a way to support 2.6, without manually coding for all the lib paths
[09:21:28] <dstufft> ionelmc: well, even if we drop support for 2.6 in the new stuff, the old things will still exist and we can update it with new pip/setuptools and stuff too
[09:24:22] <ionelmc> doismellburning: SCL is annoying, it requires "activation" (eg, setting all the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and stuff)
[09:41:57] <ionelmc> dstufft: imo the SCL is the result of bureaucracy, if they did with alts then they'd have to test everything (a lot of effort), while with the SCL they don't (only test that the scls run, no interation with the rest of the system), so they just defer that crap to the users, dealing with breakage when you try to combine the scl with something else in the
[10:14:40] <ionelmc> unless there's real demand for it it's a waste of time imo
[10:16:38] <dstufft> Is https://github.com/ionelmc/virtualenv/commit/fd4d099850d658896fb8cf9ddaadf0680cd8d1a2 needed? I thought that https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/blob/rewrite/.appveyor/install.ps1#L10-L57 would just install Python to the correct place either way?
[10:16:47] <xafer> https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/304 looks like it could be closed
[10:17:21] <ionelmc> dstufft: it is, tox don't know anything about "architecture"
[10:17:46] <dstufft> ionelmc: but I don't think it needs too, won't the code I linked install Python 64bit into C:/pythonXY?
[10:20:07] <ionelmc> well, i mean, appveyor is already very slow
[10:20:23] <ionelmc> do you really wanna reinstall stuff you already have?
[10:20:43] <dstufft> I didn't realize it already had it
[10:20:47] <dstufft> I thought we were instlaling it
[10:20:50] <dstufft> and that's why it was sos low
[10:21:18] <ionelmc> dstufft: and if the dir is present it won't do anything anyway https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/blob/rewrite/.appveyor/install.ps1#L41
[10:21:36] <dstufft> I didn't actually read the body of those functions
[10:46:13] <straycat> So, if I've followed this correctly ep.resolve() is to be used instead of ep.load(), so that require is set to False which allows setuptools to continue if the entry point isn't available, is that correct?
