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.
Approach
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
Versioning
Since this has no real code to version, we will version each release with the corresponding latest version of pip-tools, for clarity.
Warnings
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.
Usage
$ pip install -U pip pip-tools pip-and-pip-tools
