[02:32:09] <toad_polo> I am the last person to rush someone to make a release, but at some point `pip` should probably just go ahead and patch the vendored `html5lib` directly.
[20:51:04] <toad_polo> There's not much to know: https://discuss.python.org/t/specification-of-editable-installation/1564
[20:51:25] <toad_polo> I dunno about the `pip` side, but the `setuptools` side is proving to be annoying to implement.
[20:52:13] <toad_polo> Mainly because there's no separation between marshalling and installation and it's really hard to follow what's happening in `distutils` commands.
[20:53:18] <toad_polo> I'm tempted to just see if `flit` wants to do their side of the proof of concept, but I think a pretty important part of the proof of concept is exploring backwards compatibility, which can't be done with `flit`.
[20:54:21] <ronny> toad_polo: im mainly aiming to get started at gumby elf again (it has "editable" installs as a neat hack on top of wheeels, and i wold like to move to the new standards
[20:54:54] <ronny> btw, before i wasnt aware of that links you jsut posted, thanks
[20:55:01] <toad_polo> There is no new standard, so I wouldn't worry about it. Watch that thread and assume it will be 6 months before we get anywhere ;P
