Is there any other place where current functionality needs this information, *apart* from pip check? Are there any proposed additional features that might need it?
Yes. I currently have a branch where during pip install, after the packages to be installed are selected, it does a pip check on what would be the installed packages if the installation is successful. This would mean that if we do select an incompatible version for installation, pip install would be able to print a warning.
I'd rather see us get a proper solver that would mean this should never happen :-) Paul
