[18:29:30] <dstufft> njs: lol you just emailed the same thing I've been thinking about

[23:55:28] <njs> dstufft: ?

[23:55:47] <njs> dstufft: oh, maybe the thing about py2/py3/flit?

[23:55:51] <njs> (sorry, I write a lot of email :-))

[23:55:53] <dstufft> njs: re: it not actually working if flit wants to be py3 only

[23:55:58] <njs> yeah

[23:56:51] <njs> at first I was like "oh yeah you're right, this whole thing where we always require code that wants to *target* a particular interpreter also *run* on that interpreter is terrible, we shouldn't bake that into our build system design!"

[23:57:05] <njs> but then I realized that, uh, there literally is no other option, so...

[23:57:34] <dstufft> I mean, it's theortically possible, but it makes the logic pip has to go through much more convulted

[23:57:53] <dstufft> since we also have to resolve what version of Python all of the dependencies can run on as part of the dependency chain
