Larry, we currently have 0.15.2 bundled for 3.4rc1. This is the latest release of pip: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/news.html#changelog

However, there are a few additional fixes that have been merged to the pip 1.5.X maintenance branch that could be included in a 0.15.3 release:

• the workaround to resolve bpo-20053 on Windows
• a number of fixes related to wheel downloads
• ensuring hash fragments in URLs are checked properly

It would be good to get those resolved prior to the final 3.4 release.

Donald also pointed out that we want the fix to make pip complain if it is passed a wheel 2.0+ file (it's currently missing the version number warnings/errors that are called for in PEP-427). That isn't merged yet upstream, but will be part of 0.15.3.

I interpreted Larry's comments on IRC as in-principle approval, so passing this to Donald to resolve (3.4rc2 is scheduled for February 23rd).

Just t be clear, it's 1.5.3 not 0.15.3.

Oops - 0.15.3 was the version of Beaker we just released, so my brain keeps confusing the two numbers :)

Nick et al,

currently trying b3 and using the bundled pip (1.5.2) to update the bundled setuptools from 2.1 to 2.2 on Windows 7 and I get the following. Any idea if this is still an issue with the newer versions (and thus might be relevant to this case)?

I believe that may be an actual bug in the 3.4b3 email module (especially
if pip 1.5.2 behaves itself in 3.3). If you can reproduce the error with
the default branch (or rc1 when it's available), please file a new issue
(with me, Larry and R. David Murray on the nosy list). If it doesn't happen
with rc1,then I would assume it was caused by one of the 3.4 email issues
that David fixed recently.

Yes, looks like it is just the email module:

I'll check rc1 when it's released by Larry and file as needed. Thanks for verifying.

Yes, that issue was fixed on Friday. It is *possible* the fix still has a problem though, since the code in question is still different from that in 3.3.3.

Just to confirm that I, indeed, did not run into problems any more with RC1 trying to upgrade setuptools.

Donald, since you haven't been through an RC period before - just a reminder that Larry is going to need time to cherry pick the update into the release clone before rc2 on the 23rd.

Yea, I'll get it done. Was planning on doing it this weekend but I had a medical issue. I'll see about getting all the things get done asap.

I put out the email that I'll be rolling 1.5.3 tues/weds of next week (so 18th or 19th). Hopefully that's a reasonable time schedule.

When you land this fix, please create the separate "3.4 cherry-pick" issue. Those issues are helping me a lot with keeping track of everything.

Just a FYI I'm going to be cutting this release sometime in the next 6-12 hours and I'll commit it to the CPython repository and make the cherry-pick request.

I created bpo-20713

My understanding is this is now done. If it isn't please reopen.
