run without *building* packages about pip2pi HOT 4 OPEN

seems to covered by this issue: #70

perhaps pip install --download should be replaced with pip download to solve this?

from pip2pi.

Failed to extract tesseract version from executable: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'tesseract'

From this line, the error seems to be in the package itself than in pip2pi.

@glensc Can you please attach complete error log?

from pip2pi.

@safiyat the exact error message is irrelevant. please read the bugreport again what i requested.

the symptom is that the package names given are actually attempted to be installed. thus includes build and compile steps. those must be omitted. these are useless and break process because non-pure python packages will fail if -dev packages missing.

from pip2pi.

I don't think pip2pi actually installs the packages. It extracts the requested package and then after reading its requirements, downloads those required packages.

python install --download was deprecated, and has been removed in 10.0.0 and above. It only downloads the required packages, and does not install them.

I am stumped though as to why it would want to run x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc.
