Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pytest-asyncio') about pytest-asyncio HOT 8 CLOSED

I think the problem is I only publish wheels, and easy_install can't handle wheels.

Pip really is the future, and easy_install a legacy thing. Could you be persuaded to use pip instead? (An option is to easy_install pip, then use pip...)

@Tinche Yes, that's correct.
The problem is not me is the setup.py that keep using easy_install for some internal things like install requirements defined inside it. Please see an example here https://github.com/wiliamsouza/echo/blob/master/setup.py#L18. I made a workaround here wiliamsouza/echod@66e28d4. If you provides a source dist you don't break setup.py and everyone using pip will keep using wheels for default.

@Tinche any reason for not also providing a sdist? That seems to me to be the standard practice, publish both sdist and wheels whenever possible.

@wiliamsouza Ah, you're using tests_require. Personally, I've switched to using a special requirements.txt for test requirements, mostly because of this situation of setuptools using easy_install for the requirements (you miss all the others benefits of pip too).

@nicoddemus Well, as I understand it wheels are superior to sdists even in the pure Python case (faster installation, no arbitrary code execution during installation). Since this is a Python 3 project I thought we'd just use the modern goodies off the bat. I guess there'd be no harm providings sdists too, other than the 30 seconds more effort any time a release is made...

I guess sdist is the plain-old dist format which can be used by absolutely anyone, so it makes sense to always publish it alongside wheels. For example, I'm not sure you can create conda packages directly from wheels, but you can from sdists.

I've just pushed out 0.2.0 to PyPI, including a sdist, so this should now work.

@Tinche Thanks!

So close this issue already ;-)
