Greetings everyone, we had a productive session at flock and actually covered everything that was in my email message about a potential agenda. Here's the notes:

A
current limitation relevant to Fedora and EPEL: pip & wheel don't yet support an equivalent to the pkg_resources parallel version support. They use virtualenv for that kind of functionality, which isn't a suitable option for system packages.
I plan to include this capability in the next iteration of the installation database spec (using an approach similar to the current setuptools approach), but we'll need to be aware of it for any packages that currently rely on parallel installs (e.g. anything with a CherryPy 2 dependency), since they won't be able to migrate to wheel based installation any time soon.
See discussion at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2013-August/022450.html for more details.
Cheers, Nick.
