Plain pip install not working for me #11

Closed mriehl closed 10 years ago

mriehl commented 10 years ago

Hi,

I needed to use

sudo pip2.7 install --allow-external argparse psdash

to get psdash installed. (I'm on arch linux x64, but that should not matter to pip). The key here was to add --allow-external psdash so that pip can pull argparse from an external site (1.2.1 is not available on pypi itself, it seems).

I'm not sure this is a problem on my system, or if the instructions need to be updated.

Hi, you're using a virtualenv right?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just got it when using a virtualenv but it's basically just a design decision in newer versions of pip. I think some documentation of this behaviour should be sufficient for now.

mriehl commented 10 years ago

Oh, it's new pip behaviour, all right. That explains why I didn't see this before. I think I remember that deferring to external sites from PyPI is really evil and they wanted to get rid of that.

Would you like me to submit a patch to the README instructions?

Sure, go ahead, would be great :)
