- skywhopper 11y agoSome platforms and environments don't have pip handy, or you might not have root access, or you can't install new software for any number of reasons, or the required libraries are not installed. curl and /bin/sh and openssl are more universal, so it's good to be able to do what you need to do without resorting to installing software.
- chrismdp 11y agoExactly my thinking. Nice to have one thing less to install on a new Jenkins node, for example.

- skywhopper 11y agoI don't think the author intended this script to solve everyone's problems. It's an interesting exercise and can be useful in some situations. If it's not useful for your needs, then as has been pointed out there are many many other options.

- skywhopper 11y ago... right, which is why I listed all the other reasons you might not be able to install a python package.
- falcolas 11y agoEven if the script itself is not "practical", it's very informative. It makes it quite simple to translate into another language for the times when you don't want to shell out to another process.
- sbochins 11y agoI found this script a couple weeks ago and was very useful for the minimal docker image I was creating. In some cases you have certain constraints when accessing s3 and this script is helpful in those cases.
