Comment 4 for bug 1505941

Ian, it'd be nice if you could as well stop personal comments in bug reports. I've asked you to stop closing bugs because that's not the first time. This is a fact, which you just recognize. No need to write that I *continue* to *exaggerate*. Please just focus on the technical bits of bug reports, which is the only important thing.

So, back to the issue. I probably failed to explain properly, because clearly, you didn't fully understood what I wrote (my communication teacher said many times that it is *always* the fault of the person who attempted to explain, and I've seen many times that he's right...).

There's no need for doc8 to require itself. It could use itself without requiring itself, as per definition, the sources are available locally when using tox. Installing doc8 from pip in a venv so that testing doc8 can use that version is also not a great idea, because by definition, the pip install version will not be as up-to-date as the git clone being tested.

Or did I miss something here? For what reason having doc8 in the venv is necessary, when doc8 could already use itself?
