[14:26:36] <dstufft> it was originally setup as a staging environment for PyPI, and sort of left up there as a "hey, this is a sandbox you can use to test your own packages too"
[14:26:55] <dstufft> but we don't really use it as a staging enviornment at all anymore
[14:27:11] <dstufft> and it's not actually very good at being a test environment for packagers for a number of reasons
[22:52:49] <MrJones> is there a way to specify --no-build-isolation also for dependencies being installed? e.g. via environment variable?
[22:53:10] <MrJones> when installing via `pip3 install --user --no-build-isolation .` it seems like the dependencies may still be using build isolation
[22:54:08] <MrJones> ah, just found it in google where I failed before right AFTER asking here, lol :D I assume PIP_NO_BUILD_ISOLATION=1 would work? I'll give it a try
[23:51:24] <MrJones> ok so I tried PIP_NO_BUILD_ISOLATION=1 but it still does seem to be using it ("Building wheel for sfxscan (PEP517)" is build isolation, right?)
[23:51:32] <MrJones> is there another env var I need to use to disable it?
