[09:11:56] <rnix> hi, when installing virtualenv and a package to it like so -> sudo -u foo virtualenv . && sudo -u foo ./bin/pip install package -> i get permission denied for /root/.cache -> how is this cache directory set? i would like to use the one of foo user instead?
[20:16:13] <nedbat> what does it mean when "pip freeze" reports the version number with triple-equals? ===
[20:18:17] <xafer> maybe that the version identifier does not conform to pep440
[20:34:42] <carljm> nedbat: it means yavascript, of course! (actually I have no idea)
[20:35:16] <nedbat> this channel is so helpful! :)
[20:36:55] <elarson> nedbat: do you have an example?
[20:39:20] <carljm> nedbat: more usefully, I think it's probably https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#arbitrary-equality
[20:39:33] <carljm> which means xafer was probably right
[20:39:56] <nedbat> oh, could be: https://gist.github.com/nedbat/a6d3d52d7ee0d1c78cff
[20:40:07] <carljm> this is pip's way of saying "this version 'number' doesn't make sense to me numerically according to pep 440, so I'm just outputting an arbitrary string equality"
[20:40:29] <nedbat> xafer: good call. there are two there, and they are both weird.
