Those expected results obviously apply only if you already have python-requests installed. Otherwise you would expect to see a download from PyPI and installation into the user packages directory. +1 to renaming back to /usr/bin/pip in python-pip For reference bug #616626 tracked the rename from /usr/bin/pip -> /usr/bin/{perl,python}-pip $ repoquery -q --repoid=rawhide --file /usr/bin/perl-pip perl-pip-0:1.19-7.fc19.noarch fwiw, as a co-maintainer I am favor of reverting the rename, For reference, the now closed bugs which represented the change from pip to python-pip and perl-pip: (python-pip) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616399 (perl-pip) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616626 Also relevant are the Fedora packaging guidelines on binary name conflicts: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts#Binary_Name_Conflicts I'm certainly not against the change, but I don't want to just change it. This is something that needs to be reviewed by the FPC before any changes happen. I'll file a ticket with them and we'll see what happens. Ticket filed with the FPC requesting permission to revert the previous name change: https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/280 With my python hat on, I'd love to see this happen. With my FPC hat on -- what does the perl-pip package maintainer think of this? If they're fine with it, then there's no issue, I believe that FPC doesn't even need to be involved. If they're not fine with it then FPC might need to step in to be an arbitrator. Marcela - as the maintainer of perl-pip, do you have any objections to this proposal to rename python-pip's binary to /usr/bin/pip? Just for the record, we *did* consider changing the name upstream to eliminate the conflict entirely. However, we're still struggling to get Python open source developers to convert their documentation from recommending easy_install to recommending pip, so adding yet another name change on top of a still incomplete migration didn't seem wise. (In reply to comment #7) > Marcela - as the maintainer of perl-pip, do you have any objections to this > proposal to rename python-pip's binary to /usr/bin/pip? Do you think I should also rename the /usr/bin/perl-pip to /usr/bin/pip? I guess from Perl community there will be the same attitude, the Fedora pip is broken. @Marcela, we couldn't have both at /usr/bin/pip for policy/conflict reasons. I just checked arch, debian, suse and they all use /usr/bin/pip for python-pip. We should try to avoid divergence here. thanks, Pádraig. Ok, if it's at least same in major distributions, then fine with me. Cool. Since mmaslano is fine with it I'm going to close the FPC ticket. There's nothing for the FPC to decide upon in this case as all the maintainers are okay with which package will have use of /usr/bin/pip. python-pip-1.3.1-3.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-pip-1.3.1-3.fc19 python-pip-1.3.1-3.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-pip-1.3.1-3.fc18 python-pip-1.3.1-3.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-pip-1.3.1-3.fc17 python-pip-1.3.1-3.el6 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 6. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-pip-1.3.1-3.el6 Package python-pip-1.3.1-3.el6: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora EPEL 6 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=epel-testing python-pip-1.3.1-3.el6' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2013-5927/python-pip-1.3.1-3.el6 then log in and leave karma (feedback). I checked this works as expected on Fedora 18: $ sudo yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing python-pip <snip yum output> $ which pip /usr/bin/pip $ pip --version pip 1.3.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7) Is there anything more to be done before it can be moved over to the main repos? (In reply to Nick Coghlan from comment #18) > Is there anything more to be done before it can be moved over to the main > repos? I had been waiting for more karma on the updates before pushing them stable (ATM, there is +1 on F19 and F18 updates) but I'm probably not going to wait much longer before pushing them stable. python-pip-1.3.1-3.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository.
