[00:44:56] aa_: In what? [04:21:13] coderanger: setuptools [04:23:07] its modular, so you can make a metadata provider for whatever you want [05:31:47] [connected at Thu Sep 20 05:31:47 2007] [05:31:47] <> *** Looking up your hostname...

[16:40:27] We ship tarballs of our dependencies and tell setuptools to find those tarballs with the "dependency_links" arg. [16:40:43] I'm investigating a behavior that I don't like -- it is downloading from the web when it could get the same thing from the local file. [16:41:02] I've just found the comment in package_index.py that explains that this is intentional: "If we have already 'gone online'". [16:41:13] So: should I take this up with distutils-sig? [16:41:33] Since I want to ship my project tomorrow, I'm going to try to think of a work-around to prevent setuptools from fetching things from the net when it doesn't have to. [16:54:33] Oh, I see that the comment didn't mean what I thought. [16:54:37] Investigating further... [18:05:29] pje is now known as pje_mtg [18:33:05] Okay, it appears that the behavior is different on Windows than on Mac OS X, [18:33:33] and that on Windows, if the dependency_link starts with "file:" then it gets treated as a "URL", and so not-preferred comapred to http:, [18:33:41] whereas on Mac and Linux it seems to prefer the file: ones. [18:33:52] Anyway, I changed my dependency_links to be just bare relative pathnames and now I'm happy. [18:34:01] Hope this helps! Hope you don't mind my writing it into this channel.
