[20:06:40] <doismellburning> er, the download cache hasn't been deprecated, has it?
[20:07:10] <Alex_Gaynor> doismellburning: it's form has changed, there's still a cache, but it now exists at the layer of HTTP responess, not just tarballs
[20:07:20] <glyph> which, I should note, I'm not opposed to
[21:17:19] <davesque> has anyone had issue invoking the new version of pip in a virtualenv with sudo? it seems the new pip wants to create files at $HOME/.cache/pip but fails if pip was invoked with sudo -u for an account without access to that location.
[21:18:54] <davesque> formerly, i was using this kind of command to install pip requirements in a virtualenv: sudo -u www-data /var/virtualenvs/foo/bin/pip install -r /var/www/project/requirements.txt
[21:19:08] <davesque> this doesn’t work any more because of the issue i’m describing.
[21:21:45] <dstufft> davesque: add a -H to your sudo call
[21:22:05] <dstufft> by default sudo keeps the $HOME directory pointing at the home directory of the user calling sudo
[21:22:19] <dstufft> the -H flag tells sudo to set it to the home dir of the user being ran undo sudo
[21:22:51] <davesque> dstufft: ahh, very good. thanks!
[21:28:00] <davesque> dstufft: right, i noticed the HOME var was retained through sudo. would it make sense for the IOError to get handled differently somehow instead of bubbling to the top as is?
[21:59:27] <apollo13> dstufft: jay for pip 6, took me a while to upgrade ;)
[23:08:32] <dessai> hi, I recently deleted the /usr/bin/local files for pip and when I tried to reinstall it using get-pip.py the files were not recreated
[23:50:10] <Alex_Gaynor> dstufft can no doubt correct me on the particulars
[23:50:17] <glyph> Alex_Gaynor: I need to pick a different name then, even though there isn't even enough of a registration here to show up on PyPI itself at all?
[23:52:27] <doismellburning> if you'll forgive me for hijacking this somewhat relatedly; if anyone happens to know David Larlet, I'd appreciate an introduction/contact (I want to give django-storages some love)
[23:55:33] <glyph> Not that I wouldn't have gotten in touch with lcrees in either case, just wondering what the recourse was if there was no answer
