python2.7 ipython fails to install

[dbieber]

Thanks for opening the issue. See also #57.

What did you do when it failed, pip install fire? The version currently in pypi has the dependency listed as ipython, whereas master lists the dependency as ipython<6.0. So what's currently on master should work w/ python 2.7.

It sounds like a better way to do this going forward is:
ipython/ipython#10329 (comment)

if sys.version_info[0] < 3 and 'bdist_wheel' not in sys.argv:
    install_req.remove('ipython')
    install_req.append('ipython<6')

Inside a custom package named swiftutils I have:

install_requires=['fire']

Then in some other packages I have something like this in setup.py on a simple pypi server:

install_requires=['swiftutils'],
dependency_links=['http://jenbuild-5462.xxx.com/simple/swiftutils/'],

I then do a python setup.py install with these other packages.

This looks like a similar issue as the ones you linked.

The dependency_links of setuptools uses pypi/pip?

Thanks for the pointers, and the awesome cli utility.

I'm going to close this issue, as it looks like a duplicate.
