six > 1.4.1 is only being mirrored as wheels

[Jeremy Stanley]

The global-requirements.txt in the master branch of the openstack/requirements project currently specifies six>=1.4.1 and https://pypi.python.org/simple/six/ includes directly-hosted downloads for...

    six-1.4.1.tar.gz
    six-1.5.0.tar.gz
    six-1.5.1.tar.gz
    six-1.5.2.tar.gz

...which should match this. However, http://pypi.openstack.org/openstack/six/ only has...

    six-1.4.1.tar.gz
    six-1.5.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
    six-1.5.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl

...matching the requirement (no tarballs after 1.4.1). This came to light when https://review.openstack.org/68424 got approved and none of the changes behind it in the gate could find a matching version because they're still run with an old enough pip so as to need a separate --use-wheel command-line option.

[Cyril Roelandt (cyril-roelandt)]

So, two possibilities:

1) the tarballs are not mirrored on purpose because wheels are somehow better, which means pip should be updated or the '--use-wheel' option should be passed to it;
2) the tarballs should be mirrored

I think it's 2 :)

I've taken a look at "modules/openstack_project/files/pypi-mirror.yaml" and "modules/openstack_project/files/jenkins_job_builder/config/macros.yaml", but can't find an obvious error. Maybe it's an issue with the run-mirror script ?

    Do not download wheels when running "pip install"

    Virtualenv has recently been upgraded to 1.11, which comes with pip 1.5. In
    this version of pip, if 'pip install' can find a wheel, it downloads it instead
    of the tar.gz. This is an issue since the version of pip used in the gates can
    still be too old to work with wheels by default.

    Use '--no-use-wheel' in the 'pip install' command to fix this.
