This improves security, installability, + and performance; adds PyPy support; and much more. + + There aren't enough ways to thank Alex Gaynor for all of his work on this, + and then his patience while the maintainer let his PR grow moss for a year + and change. Paul Kehrer came in with an assist, and I think I saw Olle + Lundberg, ``@techtonik`` and ``@johnthagen`` supplying backup as well. Thanks + to all! + + .. warning:: + **This is a backwards incompatible change.** + + However, **it should only affect installation** requirements; **no API + changes are intended or expected**. Please report any such breakages as + bugs. + + See our updated :doc:`installation docs <installing>` for details on what + is now required to install Paramiko; many/most users should be able to + simply ``pip install -U paramiko`` (especially if you **upgrade to pip + 8**). + * :support:`729 backported` Clean up ``setup.py`` to always use ``setuptools``, not doing so was a historical artifact from bygone days. Thanks to Alex Gaynor. |
