[02:07:32] <sumanah> thea: will you email distutils-sig with a link to your blog post?

[02:28:04] <thea> sumanah: yes, I'll do it tomorrow when I'm at my work computer. :)

[02:28:31] <sumanah> Great, thanks thea

[03:32:23] <techalchemy> njs: do you have admin privileges on appveyor? I want to turn it back on for pipenv but I don't really want to run it from my personal account, I just remember talking to you about it

[03:33:53] <njs> techalchemy: from https://github.com/orgs/pypa/teams, it looks like pf_moore is the only person in the "appveyor admins" team

[03:35:06] <techalchemy> oh thx last time i looked I thought dstufft was in there too so I was confused when he wasn't sure about the details :p

[09:10:34] <pradyunsg> ^ it broke earlier because of a timeout.

[20:05:42] <eric97477> I tried asking this question at #distutils, but that channel is pretty quite right now.

[20:05:42] <eric97477> I had a question about distributing python packages to offline machines when the offline machine is running a different OS then a machine with an internet connection. Based on what I have learned so far, there are two solutions. (a) Use a CI to run a fleet of machines for each OS one needs to target to obtain the OS specific wheels.

[20:05:42] <eric97477> (b) 'pip download <package_list> --no-binary :all:' -- the intention here is to grab the source distribution without any OS specific code included.

[20:05:44] <eric97477> The issue I see with (a) is the shear amount work it would take to setup and maintain such a system. The issue I see with (b) is that it is not 100% reliable as some packages are tricky to install and may not work well with 'pip download.

[20:09:59] <di_codes> eric97477: you’re talking about acquiring the correct distribution for some 3rd party project, right? (i.e., you’re not trying to package up your own code, it already exists)

[20:14:48] <di_codes> eric97477: makes sense. I’m not sure that pip has the ability to do that. one thought is that if you reliably knew the platform, python version etc that you want, you could use the JSON API (<https://warehouse.readthedocs.io/api-reference/json/>) to see if the project has the corresponding wheel built, and get a link to download it

[20:15:24] <eric97477> That's a good idea di_codes. One that I had not considered.

[21:27:57] <sumanah> thanks for that answer di_codes, on distutils-sig

[22:09:36] <techalchemy> pf_moore: I think you're the appveyor admin-- is that right? is it possible to get pipenv testing on pypa's appveyor?
