[11:35:23] <dstufft> pip doesn't have an API other than it's CLI
[11:35:24] <pjdelport> pacodastre: I don't think pip has a stable API aside from command-line invocation.
[11:35:31] <dstufft> not a publically supported one anyways

I understand the abstract vs concrete dependency thing, but in this case the package I need is only available on Github, but there is a similarly named package on PyPI.

[22:54:22] <brtaylor92_> Hello - I'm having an issue compiling some code using setuptools, but when I try to recreate the error myself, the code compiles. I'm wondering if anyone knows why this might happen? The particular error can be seen at https://dpaste.de/Xzk9
[23:54:26] <zouhair> I have no idea if this is the right place, but I have an issue with one pip package, it keeps upgrading all the time, here is a shell session: https://bpaste.net/show/abae28e9d941
