Nope, pip's used --record on installation for years, and the above has been true since the moment uninstall landed in pip. There are enough different ways things can get installed that it's not surprising that some discussions may have been confused ;-)
That may be it. Forcing --record in Python 3.2 would be a step forward then? :-)
You mean in the current distutils ? Because distutils2 will have the PEP 376 implementation, where we create a RECORD file for each installed project in its dist-info/
I haven't carefully read the entire discussion, but do you mean that distutils won't follow PEP 376 during installation?
If people use the old Distutils, (what I've called the current distutils), and trigger an installation via 'python setup.py install'. It'll use the existing code, so install it the 'old' way.
