Python 3.6 + OS X needs python.app #20

Closed ocefpaf closed 7 years ago

ocefpaf commented 7 years ago

defaults does not provide, at least at the moment, a python.app package for Python 3.6.

minrk commented 7 years ago

Why does it need python.app? I see it in the dependency, but don't understand what it would be used for in IPython.

ocefpaf commented 7 years ago

I don't known, not a Mac user, python.app was introduced in https://github.com/conda-forge/ipython-feedstock/pull/8

@mwcraig is this still needed?

minrk commented 7 years ago

From the discussion in #8, it appears to be caused by a bug in conda < 4.1, where entrypoints get mangled to call python.app. If that's true, then every package that has any entrypoint should have the same requirement. I don't think this is done in other packages, so we probably shouldn't do it in IPython.

21 removes the python.app dependency

mwcraig commented 7 years ago

Just checked, and python.app is no longer a dependency for defaults ipython, so I agree we should remove it here too.
