[02:27:05] <Sasazuka> tdsmith: looks like the problem is from building matplotlib which uses setuptools which uses easy_install which allows release candidates...

[06:02:51] <tdsmith> oh. holy shit

[16:18:25] <exarkun> Are there known differences in behavior of setuptools when it is built as a wheel instead of an egg?

[16:18:43] <exarkun> related to namespace packages, specifically, maybe

[16:20:12] <exarkun> I have an environment where zope.interface is not importable

[16:20:29] <exarkun> the most obvious difference between this environment and the one where it is is that setuptools is a wheel rather than an egg

[16:23:48] <exarkun> I see the setuptools docs say some vague stuff about "the egg runtime" being able to support namespace packages

[16:23:59] <exarkun> I wonder if that is supposed to imply that it _doesn't_ work with wheels

[16:24:19] <exarkun> though I would expect this would be more about how the target is packaged, not how setuptools itself is packaged
