[upgrade questions] pip==8.1.2; setuptools==24.0.3

[Samuel Marks]

What are the blockers to upgrading these two?

IIRC there was something about `-e` and `#egg`. Won't it be faster install times if we just use tarball?

Instead of:

-e git+https://github.com/open-craft/xblock-activetable.git@e933d41bb86a8d50fb878787ca680165a092a6d5#egg=xblock-activetable

We use:

https://api.github.com/repos/open-craft/xblock-activetable/tarball/e933d41bb86a8d50fb878787ca680165a092a6d5#egg=xblock-activetable

What else is stopping us from upgrading?

Might give a go at this over Christmas (or sooner) depending on my schedule.

Whoops, missed this commit: https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/commit/041fede3340ac569b531d0d8cec1308734616e53#diff-7d02e9409f61f90c29a5518f737e3f55

What put my off was:

1. the latest file in the configuration repo still has old pip, from this commit: https://github.com/edx/configuration/commit/bbc1a235cde134d18063de3749fd6b97c79f666d#diff-bae360dc9178a433afbf08e50560629c
   
   
   
2. same with the latest README.md for openedx-install
   https://github.com/regisb/openedx-install/blob/f569d2aabee3e77e3f2a73e3d30350554308d1e2/README.md)

Samuel,

What in particular are you proposing? To change how xblock-activetable is installed? Or how lots of things are installed?  And can you explain why you want to make a change?

Hey Ned,

Oh, the issue is all the warnings I kept getting about `pip`. But looks like your commit had already made these changes, they just aren't (or weren't) reflected in the other projects.
