[Scons-dev] Packaging logic?

pip install .

Not sure what is not OK.

If you have

python setup.py install

Scons installs… but how do you remove it…  you don’t

Pip install SCons

Installs it like the above. But now I want to remove it:

Pip uninstall SCons.

That is nice… what is wrong with  that?

This would not stop. You would be able to do the same thing.

If nothing else will be broken then I don't mind against uploading wheels to PyPI.

The difference in the below would be:

Pip install scons

would be default go to the internet and get SCons

Ok.

Not ok. SCons is a build system, so it should build itself to experiment on a live code. If we can teach pip to invoke scons as a part of build step - that is ok. I'd say that there is a even a demand for a cross-platform build tool that can work with pip to build binary stuff like extensions.
