08/14/2015, 4:35 PMis there a particular place we should look to see what else you have planned? we're about to import pants_internal to source and trying to decide on a strategy - e

08/14/2015, 4:36 PMAlso - Medium uses the pantsbuild/setup script which does not support plugins today and they need to install go, so it serves them as well - w

08/14/2015, 4:37 PMWell - the plugin but - the last RB I sent out last night - honors installs like Twitter's with locked down python repos/indices - e
enough-analyst-54434
08/14/2015, 4:37 PMso you could use that bit - e
enough-analyst-54434
08/14/2015, 4:38 PMHowever, the mainline install of pantsbuild.pants in a venv does not do so today nor will it in the next few weeks - e
enough-analyst-54434
08/14/2015, 4:38 PMI'm still ruminating on how to make that happen - e
enough-analyst-54434
08/14/2015, 4:38 PMIts tricky - e
enough-analyst-54434
08/14/2015, 4:38 PMSo until that last bit is complete, I don;t think Twitter could entertains using the standard install script - w
witty-crayon-22786
08/14/2015, 4:38 PMer, what do you mean about the mainline install? the script you've used in twitter/commons, or something else? - w

08/14/2015, 4:40 PMyea. one of our requirements is to be able to run oss pants from source anyway, so - e
