Description Alexander Todorov 2012-01-12 10:24:26 UTC

Description of problem:
I added 'bzr' as dependency to my application without specifying a version. 

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bzr - shows 2.4.2 as the latest version

but I got 2.5b4 installed instead.

According to Bazaar website 
Stable version: 2.4.2
Test version: 	2.5b4


Looking further I think I know what happened. 

On the pypi page there's no tarballs to download so the installer looks under the download url (https://launchpad.net/bzr/+download) which lists all the latest test versions and downloads one of them instead.


From user POW I'd prefer a stable version if not otherwise specified. IMHO the installer needs to compare the version number from pypi to the one on the tarball.

I'm not even sure if this is a bug in OpenShift or the python install tools.

The way the bzr project provided their downloads, you get the beta version unless you specify the correct version.

Its agreed this is annoying behaviour, but Python's installer doesn't provide another way to enforce which version you want except to specify it if the package maintainer really wants to do that.

Recommend the end-user specify "bzr==2.4.2" if they want the stable version.

Moving to Q/A to verify that "bzr==2.4.2" works as a dependency.

It works

Closing verified bugs.
