This choice of location means the files + can be readily managed (removed, ignored). Additionally, + later phases or invocations of setuptools will not detect the package as + already installed and ignore it for permanent install (See #209). + This change is indicated as backward-incompatible as installations that + depend on the installation in the current directory will need to account for + the new location. Systems that ignore ``*.egg`` will probably need to be + adapted to ignore ``.eggs``. The files will need to be manually moved or + will be retrieved again. Most use cases will require no attention. --- 6.1 |
