I wonder what the status of easy_install is. I keep finding people<br>
who needed to install something 'path.py' is the latest, who needed to<br>
use pip, and couldn't get easy_install to work. Should we tell people<br>
that easy_install is deprecated, or ask them to file bugs when<br>
they could not get it to work, or ...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Tell people to use pip. Having ensurepip in Python 2.7 and 3.4 makes it as official as anything will be as the recommended tool to install projects. Otherwise easy_install has nothing to do directly with python-dev so I don't think we can comment on a group as to what people should do in terms of bugs, etc. </div></div></div>
