[16:34:08] <agronholm> people say that installing things with pip as root is bad -- so how come pip doesn't at least print a warning when you do that?

[17:12:11] <ronny> agronholm: dstufft did point out some cases where its valid not to do that

[17:13:16] <agronholm> when, where?

[18:33:41] <nedbat> is this a valid pip install url? git+https://github.com/edx/lettuce.git@django1.8/upgrade#egg=lettuce=edx-django1.8

[18:34:09] <nedbat> I'm concerned about the final component "lettuce=edx-django1.8". Shouldn't that be a version number?

[18:39:57] <nedbat> the docs show a different syntax (#egg=project-version), and say that version is ignored.

[18:48:43] <xafer> what is "edx-django1.8" ? a version ?

[18:50:37] <xafer> git+https://github.com/edx/lettuce.git@django1.8/upgrade#egg=lettuce should be enough

[18:52:23] <nedbat> xafer: i think in this case it is a tag in github. xafer the docs indicate that the last segment is ignored.

[18:57:30] <xafer> well, one can only wonder how it decides it is a version or part of the package name :-/

[19:00:01] <xafer> https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/develop/pip/req/req_install.py#L1023-L1026 yup, you'd better not put any version there

[19:00:26] <xafer> if you want to select a tag, it should go between @ and #

[19:06:26] <ronny> agronholm: there was a issue about that, i dont reall the detaills
