[01:40:49] <_matix> nanonyme: it might not be that hard but it's infrastructure i just don't need. it's not a question of whether it's hard, but whether it's necessary.
[01:49:21] <_matix> pombreda: creating wheels looks like a good solution for my problem. thank you!
[08:40:19] <pombreda> _matix: :) I have examples of vendoring on github for instance in nexB/scancode-toolkit/thirdparty (install driven by the top level configure script and the etc/configure.py script) if that can help
[10:45:59] <ronny> dstufft: does pip have any way to download a requested package as wheel and tell the name of the resulting wheel file?
[10:48:53] <pombreda> ronny: afaik it sure cannot. you can select where the wheels go with pip download --destination-directory but this is it
[11:47:16] <tech2> Hi all, I've been using tox recently to build against multiple python versions. After a recent OS upgrade though now I get "ImportError: No module named 'pip'" when tox runs "/opt/py/projects/marketingcloudworker/.tox/py34/bin/pip install -rtests/test_requirements.txt"
[11:49:37] <tech2> For whatever reason pip doesn't seem to get properly installed in the venv and I don't know why. The short scripts are in the bin dir, but nothing found in the pythonpath. 2.7 builds still seem to work fine.
[12:13:18] <mgedmin> what version of virtualenv do you use?
[12:13:42] <mgedmin> can you reproduce with virtualenv -p python34 /tmp/py34 && /tmp/py34/bin/pip <something, e.g --version>?
[12:41:09] <tech2> mgedmin: sorry, was afk, trying now.
[12:42:01] <tech2> That sequence of commands worked fine.
[12:47:46] <tech2> as for virtualenv, my .local install is 15.0.3 but I don't know if this is what tox uses (I can hope, I guess, but I don't know how to work that out)
[13:13:54] <tech2> Okay, found the cause but don't understand the reason. I'm on an EC2 instance and PYTHON_INSTALL_LAYOUT was set, I unset it and it works. What is this and why does unsetting it work?
[14:13:26] <_matix> pombreda: yes thank you, I will have al ook
[20:00:12] <tdsmith> dstufft: i'm going to have to harrangue you at some point about how distutils.cfg interacts with --target
[20:00:42] <tdsmith> the traceback ends in distutils which makes me sad
[20:05:12] <dstufft> tdsmith: --target is kind of a gross hack
[20:08:07] <tdsmith> i think aws lambda is the only reason anyone cares
[20:38:07] <dstufft> Looks like for "modern" versions of pip (6, 7, 8) Python 2.6 is ~3% of downloads
[21:03:02] <tech2_> Hi there. I'd had some problems with the use of pip in tox where if I unset the environment variable PYTHON_INSTALL_LAYOUT it works, but if it's set then I get an ImportError on use of pip but only for a python3 venv. What's that variable for?
[21:14:22] <MiDiSiD> hello, I am hoping somebody can help me with a problem. I am new to linux and python. I am following a tutorial which is installing Raspbian Jessie + Python _ OpenCV. I have run in to a problem midway through the process while installing PIP.
[23:19:52] <anti-torture> These psychiatrists are criminals and you dont know when they wanted you.
[23:20:13] <anti-torture> These are dangers for people
[23:20:22] <MiDiSiD> Could not fetch URL pypi.python.org/simple/pip: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:581) - skipping
[23:20:22] <MiDiSiD> Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pip (from versions: )
[23:20:23] <MiDiSiD> No matching distribution found for pip
[23:21:09] <MiDiSiD> that is what it says when I type "sudo python get-pip.py"
