Description
Instead of using the home made sage-spkg
for unpatched Python packages it would be simpler/better to use pip (no worries about upgrades, etc). As examples, we have the following optional packages that can be used to test the switch
- beautiful soup
- pyopenssl
- pyqtx
- pyzmq

#20218 offers a middle ground--it keeps spkg-install
(in particular since at least some packages need a little more work before it can run pip
). But for most Python packages the sole function of spkg-install
is to cd into its source and run pip
.
I think having a proper spkg-install
script for each package, even if it's trivial, is ultimately simpler and less confusing than having different build/install paths for different kinds of packages that meet a very specific set up conditions. Better that all packages have an spkg-install
documenting "this is how you install this package", and not require a priori knowledge that some arbitrary package happens to be a Python module distribution.

Closing tickets in the sage-duplicate/invalid/wontfix module with positive_review (i.e. someone has confirmed they should be closed).
I guess the simplest would be to make
pip
a standard package and create the commandsage -pip
.Then for each of the listed package in the description, the
sage-spkg
script will just raises an error explaining the new procedureAnother option is to redirect
sage-spkg
input topip
if everything else failed but I do not like that so much.Vincent
