[09:36:43] <doismellburning> any reason not to use `include_package_data=True` in setup.py?

[09:37:09] <doismellburning> (I mean, beyond "having data you don't want installed in your package")

[09:59:46] <doismellburning> (context: "install_package_data=True means we can strip out all this logic that's copy/pasted between setup.py files, since there's no case there where you don't want data from inside packages" vs "i_p_d is a nasty hack"

[09:59:50] <doismellburning> )

[10:51:46] <mgedmin> I'm not aware of any downsides to include_package_data=True

[10:52:01] <mgedmin> I think it's there solely for paranoid backwards-compat reasons

[10:54:41] <doismellburning> that sounds like a downside ;)

[10:55:55] <mgedmin> you know what, ignore what I think, I'm not an expert :)

[11:02:33] <aclark> Heh

[19:45:41] <bowlofeggs> is there documentation on the server side of a pip install session?

[19:45:55] <bowlofeggs> i'm trying to make http://pulpproject.org able to mimic pypi

[19:46:21] <bowlofeggs> and it would be handy if there were documentation of what pip is looking for on the other end of the -i flag

[19:47:35] <apollo13> bowlofeggs: not aware of any docs, but in the worst case it boils down to scraping http://pypi.python.org/simple

[19:47:55] <apollo13> or directly trying pypi.python.org/pypi/<Package_name>

[19:48:14] <apollo13> actually, over the /simple/ api, so https://pypi.python.org/simple/Django

[19:48:27] <apollo13> from there just find whatever matches your version

[19:48:32] <bowlofeggs> ah ok

[19:48:47] <bowlofeggs> it is simple indeed

[19:48:48] <apollo13> logging the http requests should also be easy enough I'd imagine, there isn't much magic involded

[19:48:52] <bowlofeggs> i've been looking at it a good bit

[19:48:52] <apollo13> involved

[19:49:01] <bowlofeggs> cool

[19:49:15] <bowlofeggs> well, wish me luck!

[19:49:22] <apollo13> and well, then there is the security stuff, like not following external links and prefering wheels etc…

[19:49:32] <apollo13> but that's about it afaik, dstufft should know more ;)
