I think you are confusing "missing a requirement" with "not prioritizing a few other people's requirements". That pip is missing this feature has always been documented, I always knew it was a missing requirement, but I did not have any personal motivation to resolve that.
- j-kidd 14y agoPip is great for many many use cases, but I think it kind of get overhyped as a replacement for easy_install. People just get upset when they encounter situation where it doesn't live up to the hype.
