A comment on Python Wheels. Parent comment

The key question I'd ask is "casual Python user coming from which other ecosystem?"

Have you tried setting $JAVA_HOME and restarting? rimshot

Here's a good overview of real world issues: http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2012/6/22/hate-hate-hate-everywhere/

(I'd imagine the core team thinks Armin should just embrace Python 3 already. And some of the details have changed since this post, naturally.)

I assume you're being sarcastic, since "it kinda works" is not a ringing endorsement (and the entire piece has the same sulky tone).

Well if you know Armin, you know that it about as close to a compliment as it gets from him :)

I help co-maintain salt, a config management tool which he used and contributed quite a few bug reports to.
