[09:44:11] <carlio> is it possible to instal a package (preferably via pip) without compiling its extensions? i don't want it to be functional, i just want it to be installed on the path for static analysis inference

[16:03:05] <qwerty1793> Hi, i've reached a point where my project is nice and stable, well documented, there are users using it etc. and I want to upload it to PyPI. However, another project with the same name already exists - but it appears to be little more than a few __init__ files in empty folders. What should I do? Can I get this package removed? Do I need to contact the owner?

[16:18:35] <tos9> qwerty1793: IIRC you'd talk to Richard or dstufft

[16:18:47] <tos9> (Or the owner yeah)

[16:24:40] <qwerty1793> tos9, ok, thanks for the info

[16:47:21] <Yasumoto> carlio: you could download the sdist

[16:47:24] <Yasumoto> (the tar.gz)

[18:42:22] <ionelmc> pf_moore: should I try to use pip from master branch on appveyor? (regarding that mindboggling failure)

[18:49:56] <pf_moore> ionelmc: you could try develop (python -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/pypa/pip) - it might be worth a go (note develop, master is the released version)

[18:50:23] <pf_moore> Not sure if it will help, but it's worth a go.

[23:06:46] <ionelmc> SyntaxError: encoding problem: utf8

[23:07:09] <ionelmc> wtf, in what situations is that invalid!?

[23:07:24] <ionelmc> also, if i switch to utf-8 it works
