It won't be testable by most developers, if be inclined to say that making the VCS layer a supported plugin point would be a better patch to merge. That would be testable.

Hi all,

Is there any interest in support for Perforce in pip? Perforce is a commercial version control system used in mostly corporate environments. It's also used for FreeBSD development. I have a pull request against the pypa/pip project (#4857) that allows the following:

    pip install p4+p4://host/depot/path

... but as the pip developers lack experience with Perforce, I've been directed to this mailing list to gauge whether this is a feature worth adding. I'm aware that Perforce is used in the game and film industries, but beyond a github issue requesting support (#2754) I'm not sure who else might use this! I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Barney
