Python

i'm sad to report

wreck 0.3.4.post0 no longer emits build front end options into .lock files wreck#30.

Background of efforts to beg and plead for setuptools maintainers to bend ever so slightly.

Continuing from denied way to pass build front end options thru requirement files so know non-pypi.org hosts setuptools#4928

This hurts those hosting packages locally or remotely on non-pypi.org package index servers. For those who are, the packages themselves give no clue where the dependencies and transitive packages are hosted.

Each and every user would need to have a ~/.pip/pip.conf or pass --extra-index-url pip install cli option. And somehow know all the possible package index servers.

This allows the pypi.org cartel to continue along it's merry way unimpeded.

Wish pep751 good luck and may there be a .unlock equivalent. Do not yet understand how the pep751 implementers will bypass setuptools and build.
