[15:18:08] <chudler> "2015.4.28" is published and "2015.04.28" also, but the former seems to go nowhere. It killed my pip operations temporarily. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/certifi/2015.4.28
[15:18:57] <chudler> whoops sorry, I posted this by mistake. I meant to tell you about what I had wrong first. Can anything be done about that (broken?) module?
[15:21:09] <dstufft> 2015.04.28 and 2015.4.28 are equivilant
[15:22:12] <chudler> Gotcha, I got "No requirements found" using pip, but its probably misled me. I understand now that it treated them as equivalent
[15:22:35] <chudler> I am continuing troubleshooting that without including this poor innocent module
[17:20:14] <egc> i'm trying to override a value from a setup.cfg section on a python setup.py commandline... is this possible, in general?
[17:20:56] <egc> for example, my setup.cfg has "[_ldap]\nlibs = bar"
[17:21:22] <egc> can i say something like, "python setup.py build _ldap --libs=foo" ?
[17:22:59] <egc> (i'd like to avoid editing the cfg file)
[17:29:29] <egc> i suppose this case is tripping me up because the [_ldap] syntax disallows those options for the build command...
[19:08:33] <dstufft> agronholm: did you forget to write a message in your email to python-ideas?
[19:20:08] <agronholm> and to fix tox, virtualenv needs a new release too obviously
[19:21:46] <dstufft> yea, we always cut a virtualenv release with a new pip release
[20:09:45] <jchen> hi, i'm using `setup.py develop` for deving on my flask app, which uses node and has the local `node_modules` directory with thousands of files. setup.py gets hung up checking each of those files, none of which are python files we care about. how do I exclude them?
[20:10:06] <jchen> i added recursive-exclude node_modules to MANIFEST.in, but seems that setup.py develop doesnt respect that
[20:12:22] <dstufft> jchen: you might try ``prune node_modules`` instead
[21:42:10] <ark3> How does `python setup.py bdist_wheel` decide the stuff after package_name-version- in the name (and presumably metadata) of the .whl file? In particular, I have two pure-Python2 packages that I'm building; one shows up with -py2-none-any while the other has -cp27-none-macosx_10_10_intel.
[21:42:24] <ark3> I think I'd like the latter to be -py2-none-any as well.
[22:13:50] <xafer> ark3, for some reason bdist_wheel thinks the second one is not a pure python package
[22:14:34] <ark3> xafer: Okay. How might I figure out why that is? How does bdist_wheel decide?
[22:15:11] <ark3> FWIW, the second wheel has no module or package, just scripts.
[22:18:45] <xafer> if it has no pure python module, is_pure returns False
[22:20:13] <xafer> you can use an hack in your setup.py to tell distutils it is pure
[22:21:39] <xafer> cf http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2014/1/27/python-on-wheels/#building-wheels for an example of such hack (but in your case, you want is_pure to return True)
