Add distribute/easy_install to Python3 formula #5276
Conversation
* Previous versions of the Python formula did not set up the site-packages and install-scripts folders in a way friendly to updates of Python itself. * Add Distribute inline to replace stand-alone formula.

Switching to Homebew from MacPorts, and had assumed that Python3 had already included the distribute/easy_install until noticing this pull request. It makes a lot of intuitive sense and I'd be in favor of this change. |

Yeah, I'm not sure if this will get in… looks like the Python3 formula has been updated outside this issue. Ultimately, I'm a fan of having one that installs both 2&3 based on a parameter, but unifying them like I did here is a nice first step. |
|
We're not going to unify the 2 & 3 formulae (sorry) since it is very possible to install both side-by-side and having a unified formula would preclude that. |
|
Why would it? Maybe I don't understand fully how Formulae work, but couldn't you just run it twice (once each with different params) to install both? Just seems better than maintaining two duplicate scripts that quickly get (and are already) out of sync. |
|
If you tried to run it a 2nd time it would say "already installed" |

Based substantially on a patch by @joshuajabbour See: Homebrew#5276
I've added distribute inline to the Python3 formula, as discussed in pull request 4354.
In doing so, I updated the formula to match the 2.7.1 as closely as possible. Caveats:
Those are the only major discrepancies. All in all, it might make a lot of sense to combine these two formulae and switch versions based on a parameter. Not sure if that's done in Homebrew, but there's a ton of duplicated code here.
