@qci-amos Yes, it's a disagreement between two tools, if you want to look at it that way. The tools in question are `setuptools` and `pylance`. The problem is that setuptools...

> Digging around in [here](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+PEP-660+) I found many potentially related issues so I just picked one to cross-link. The specific one you want is https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/3518

All of pip's command line options can be specified via environment variables - see [the documentation](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/configuration/#environment-variables)

In principle, I'm +1 on this. However, backtracking is done a *lot* in normal processing (as I imagine you are aware) and it will be extremely hard to give good...

I guess the question is, why does the OP have `setuptools_scm` active when the tests are run? Is `setuptools_scm` changing the output merely by being installed? That seems like a...

I would also like this. It would be helpful for implementing "argv globbing" of the form that I see in many other programs (on Windows, where globbing is done by...

So as an outsider here whose interest is mainly "how does this fit in the packaging ecosystem?" I'm still confused over where this fits. It sounds like @ofek is saying...
