pip and pip-tools

Purpose

Occasionally, a new pip release is incompatible with the latest existing pip-tools release.

The purpose of this package is to make it easy to ensure compatible installations of the two tools.

Once the incompatible pip release hits, there may be a span of time during which pip-tools is not yet ready for its own release.

Upon or in advance of these events, this package will be swiftly published to PyPI, and will depend on:

pip-tools>=LATEST

pip<INCOMPATIBLE

This package will have no real content of its own.

Once a pip-tools version is released that is compatible with the latest pip release, this package will be published again, depending on:

pip-tools>=LATEST

pip

Since this has no real code to version, we will version each release with the corresponding latest version of pip-tools, for clarity.

This package is currently maintained by me, some guy you don't know.

I am not going to anything malicious with this package, but depending on it without verifying its content is a risk you should beware.

$ pip install -U pip pip-tools pip-and-pip-tools
