Hmm, that is a clear case of baby-with-the-bathwater if I ever saw one. Installing from an sdist has got to be orders-of-magnitude more common than anything requiring a separate compilation / build step.

Some confusion here :) When pip switches to only install from Wheels it’ll still handle sdists, it’ll just do them by invoking the metabuild system to create a Wheel and then install that Wheel. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
