Actually, the -E option is known to be broken and will be removed from the next release of pip [1]. Their rationale is that recent versions of virtualenv all have a version of pip installed and it's better to just activate the virtualenv before installing packages instead of running an external version of pip on them. Since there is no fix available from upstream and they are removing the -E feature, I'm closing this as CANTFIX. If you're interested in the newer pip on fedora 15, I can make an f15 build available outside of yum when I update f16 but at this point, I'm not planning to update the f15 version from 0.8.3 because there were significant changes from 0.8.3 -> 1.0.x. [1] http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/news.html#develop-unreleased Interesting, I didn't know they were dropping -E, but yeah I agree it makes sense. I have no urgency/need to use a newer version of pip in fedora 15, and even so I could just use a virtualenv and upgrade that pip :) Thanks for the clarification! |
Description of problem: pip is supposed to be able to create a virtualenv in one go with the -E option (or work with an existing virtualenv), however this doesn't work as it throws an import error about peak. Creating a virtualenv separately and then using that v-env pip script works. The pip package is a bit outdated (current version is 1.0.2), but I'm not sure if packaging the newest version would fix this issue. It would help nonetheless.
