This sounds like the job for an enhanced REPL like Jupyter/ipython. In fact, it might already exist - I haven't looked.
I jsu tlooked, no it doesn't -- but yes, a good idea for a feature request. However, no matter how you slice it, some folks will be trying to to run pip via the usual REPL, if we could get them a nice error, it would save a lot of headaches and useless messages to mailing lists... -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
