Hello all, I wonder what the status of easyinstall is. I keep finding people who needed to install something 'path.py' is the latest, who needed to use pip, and couldn't get easyinstall to work. Should we tell people that easyinstall is deprecated, or ask them to file bugs when they could not get it to work, or ...

Tell people to use pip. Having ensurepip in Python 2.7 and 3.4 makes it as official as anything will be as the recommended tool to install projects. Otherwise easy_install has nothing to do directly with python-dev so I don't think we can comment on a group as to what people should do in terms of bugs, etc. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
