[15:08:51] <vascobnunes> I'm trying to install html5lib with pip install and getting an error: "Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1"
[20:41:59] <gchristensen> Hi, can I make a wheel for a package which is fetched from git? ie: my requirements.txt line is git+https://github.com/grahamc/numpy.git@2b255d2#egg=numpy. can I wheel that, upload it to my --extra-index-url index, and have pip install use it?
[22:13:45] <Moult> wickman: if you have time, can you please look at https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/pull/33 ?
[22:27:54] <wickman> moult: yup will do. thanks for sending the PRs. busy week in the tweet mines.
[22:28:56] <Moult> wickman: sure thing - i'm not sure why travis is failing though. also, because that issue effectively blocks me from deploying, it would be great if it were resolved asap so i don't need to set up a local copy of pex :)
[23:30:46] <elarson> so I've got an odd issue and I'm curious if there is another avenue
[23:31:03] <elarson> we have a container built with a specific virtualenv (py27)
[23:31:45] <elarson> I have a service that takes a spec of sorts, creates a tmp dir, and tries to install a virtualenv, some packages and run a script.
[23:32:31] <elarson> on a normal machine this works just fine. the tempdir is created, the system has virtualenv installed and creates a tempdir local virtualenv, the script runs, the logs are uploaded to a central host, then the tempdir is removed.
[23:32:55] <elarson> on this lxc container, things get wonky, I believe, b/c the python configured is a virtualenv.
[23:33:32] <elarson> is there a good way to just use the "system" python along with some local directory to that contains packages?
[23:34:10] <elarson> for example, if I can use pip to download and unzip the packages into a local site-packages of sorts and just use PYTHONPATH or something similar to make sure they are available when running the script?
