Drop parallelization in pip list by pradyunsg · Pull Request #8167 · pypa/pip (original) (raw)

@McSinyx In my view, it should be a new issue, probably entitled something like "Should pip support platforms that don't include threading?" And in the summary, explain that we have various proposals for using multithreading to speed up pip (mention the pip list --outdated PR and the proposal to do multi-threaded downloads, and anything else you're aware of) and we need to decide whether we simply require threading for pip, or we have to provide fallbacks. And if we provide fallbacks, how do we test, how do we structure the code, etc, etc.

That should make for a lively debate 🙂
