[00:35:53] <Noldorin> does pip have a feature to view the description of or open the description page for a package?

[00:49:07] <tos9> presumably not, since a package does not need to have a description page.

[02:45:33] <Noldorin> tos9, I think they all have description strings though no?

[02:45:41] <Noldorin> tos9, in any case, it would be a useful command line utility to have...

[02:46:00] <tos9> Noldorin: Only if they live on PyPI

[02:46:10] <Noldorin> tos9, eh good point

[02:47:04] <tos9> Noldorin: `function description () { open https://pypi.python.org/pypi/$1 }`

[02:47:39] <Noldorin> tos9, thanks. seems someone has already written a utility though in fact. :) https://github.com/sloria/pypi-cli

[02:47:45] <Noldorin> that's a good one-line function though, ta

[02:48:24] <tdsmith> could look at installed metadata files, like site-packages/requests-2.4.3.dist-info/METADATA

[02:49:07] <tdsmith> presumably that's inside eggs somewhere

[02:49:09] <tdsmith> as well

[17:59:11] <buck11> i'd like to propose backing out virtualenv#118 in the case of ubuntu trusty + https://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/340/keyerror-subpy#comment-13671053

[18:00:29] <buck11> a feature-detection approach would look for sys.prefix+'local' in get_makefile_filename

[20:43:56] <lobachevsky> Hi, i have a question regarding wheels

[20:44:50] <lobachevsky> When I install a package with pip, I can give it additional options with --install-option. Is there a similar option for building wheels?

[20:45:22] <lobachevsky> I want to provide a prebuilt wheel of pyzmq built against a locally built version of libzmq
