Hello,

My pip module results always indicate “change.” It seems that pip likes to report “Successfully installed” for git packages, or at least commit identified packages, and this throws off the simple change test.

Based on my results below, a proposed change to \_did\_install is given following, but it is short enough and I am not sure enough of all the permutations of pip output to know how general it so so that I didn’t do a pull request.

def \_did\_install(out):  
return ‘Successfully installed’ in out and out.count(‘Installed’) \> out.count(‘is already the active version’)

Thanks,

Keith

I am using a requirements.txt file as follows:

Django==1.4.2  
-e git+https://github.com/toastdriven/django-tastypie@94ceb21b091bff26741057bbab42b30bc0ad7dcd#egg=django\_tastypie-dev  
-e git://github.com/tryolabs/django-tastypie-extendedmodelresource.git@2f7ab47320f8003d2da0f54824e5c24533dd8205#egg=django\_tastypie\_extendedmodelresource-dev

[MORE FILES]

my “out” result then looks like below, no matter how many times I repeat the run:

[MANY “Requirement already satisfied”]
