Please don't suggest it! If you don't want to maintain it, report RFA or O bug or simply remove it from the archive, but never ever suggest users to use pip for installing system libs/apps. I had to clean after these tools way too many times! pip is great when used inside virtualenv or tools like this, but should return "please use rpm/dpkg" whenever invoked as root, period! -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-REQUEST@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
