[00:48:17] <dstufft> lobachevsky: there is no install script with wheels to pass an install option to

[01:03:57] <dstufft> nicksloan: This may be relevant to your interests https://github.com/pypa/packaging-problems/issues/57

[01:06:40] <nicksloan> dstufft: thanks. i've been playing with that idea a bit more tonight. I'll see how far I get and maybe mention what I'm working on.

[02:41:39] <tos9> dstufft: Hah, why have I never seen that before...

[09:27:55] <lobachevsky> dstufft: is there no way to pass options to the build process? I mean some sort of build must be happening, when I build a wheel for something with C extensions, like numpy.

[09:28:12] <lobachevsky> it would be nice to pass options to that

[09:29:53] <mgedmin> lobachevsky, you can set various environment variables like CFLAGS

[09:31:09] <lobachevsky> mgedmin: true, that would solve problems concerning numpy, which takes configuration from environment variables, but cannot solve my problem for pyzmq, though

[09:31:58] <mgedmin> why?

[09:32:58] <lobachevsky> no, you are right... I can alter the setup.py of pyzmq accordingly to also take an environment variable

[09:33:03] <lobachevsky> thanks a lot

[09:34:26] <mgedmin> oh my, https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/blob/master/setup.py

[09:36:26] <lobachevsky> that's not too bad, the logic for the --zmq switch is only a couple of lines

[09:37:07] <lobachevsky> taping on my wanted functionality should be easy :)

[10:15:39] <eikke> I'm trying to pip install a package by providing its URL, and adding '#md5=...', where '...' is a *wrong* md5 for the source zipfile, yet pip doesn't fail. is this expected?

[10:30:35] <mgedmin> https://pypi.python.org/pypi/objgraph shows me a very nice "Something went wrong" page

[10:30:44] <mgedmin> https://status.python.org/ thinks nothing's wrong

[10:33:12] <mgedmin> eikke, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/peep is a tool that wraps pip and adds checksum verification

[10:33:20] <mgedmin> and this page also shows me a 'something is wrong' error

[10:34:13] <eikke> mgedmin: according to https://pip.readthedocs.org/en/1.5.X/reference/pip_install.html#hash-verification I shouldn't need some external tool...

[10:35:08] <mgedmin> I think you need to talk to dstufft about this

[10:36:32] <eikke> on the other hand, checking the pip source-code, it seems like the checking might only be performed from URLs retrieved from a 'simple' index
