If you're using numpy from pure Python code the difference<br>

you'd want to be able to depend just on "numpy" but in some cases<br>
you'd need to be more specific. Perhaps you could solve that with<br>
"provides"...<br>

Really though it's probably best to keep the set of binaries on PyPI<br>
internally consistent and not try to represent everything. My point<br>
earlier was that regardless of what goes on PyPI as the official numpy<br>
wheel there will be many people using the numpy code in other ways. If<br>
pip is not the only consumer of a source release then it's not really<br>
reasonable to dictate (and redesign in a less human-friendly way) its<br>
layout purely for pip's benefit.</div></blockquote></div><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Yes indeed. But then shouldn't we talk about proper dependency resolution, compatible releases, meta packages and stuff like that? Unless I completely misunderstood the discussion here (quite probable :-) then this whole multiple source distributions idea is more like a workaround.<br></div><br><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)"><br><font size="2"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">Thanks,</span><br><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153)">-- Ionel</span></font></span><font size="2"><font style="color:rgb(153,153,153)"> Cristian Mărieș, <a href="http://blog.ionelmc.ro" target="_blank">http://blog.ionelmc.ro</a><br></font></font></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
