- gfxmonk 15y agoWhy is that sad? Because it goes against python community norms, or some other reason?
- cibot 15y agoYep. Now i need to go after another packaging tool to try it out. Well not a big deal.. However imho it would be awesome if everyone stick with the standard tools.
- gfxmonk 15y agoYou absolutely can use `pip`, if you want. I made sure of that (or at least tested it once), because I know it's widely used and convenient. But I personally think it's a terrible way to install and distribute software, and would love for more people to try Zero Install, because I think it's the way that software ought to be distributed.
- cibot 15y agoHavent tried it yet. Will definitely read up on zero install.
