What I'm saying is that despite providing tens of wheels per release, pip still sometimes gets the source version, and it's predominately the unskilled users that descend en-masse to complain that it won't install, there's this error message, and what does it mean. As a maintainer, this sucks. Even if it's a very small fraction, the internet is large, and my time isn't. I disagree with Alex. I understand his point of view, but I disagree. I also disagree with his project's decision to print a non-disableable warning on import in python 2.7, and then justifying the noisy warning based on "we didn't want people to disable it". One legacy project I'm working on is trying to get off 2.7. It's a long process, we know about it, and warnings like this all over the logs simply don't help.
