[19:51:22] <Arfrever> jaraco: Is there a reason why setup.py of setuptools has "certifi==0.0.8" instead of just "certifi"? (Currently the newest version of certifi is 1.0.1.)
[19:51:54] <jaraco> Arfrever: you'd have to ask pje. I suspect he pinned the version for performance reasons.
[19:52:07] <jaraco> I suspect it's safe to pin it to a more recent version.
[19:52:17] <jaraco> Though I'd investigate what the difference between 1.0.0 and 0.0.8 is.
[19:53:09] <jaraco> As for leaving the version unpinned, I wouldn't recommend that unless certifi advertises some guarantees about their versions and compatibility.
[19:54:32] <dstufft> certifi is only some .pem certs
[19:54:42] <dstufft> it doesn't have any meaningful code
[19:55:02] <dstufft> the reason it's pinned to 0.0.8 I suspect is so it can use the md5 hash in the dependency links
