So if I understand correctly, pip will now install the list of packages in the same order instead of choosing randomly, so that when there are version conflicts, you always get the same result?

I'm surprised I never ran into the issue, but I suppose it mainly show up if you have a large number of dependencies?

I'm surprised that isn't the obvious and standard thing to do.

People have to write that code ya know?

Is that what it does? My understanding is that it actually was analyzing dependencies before installing finding solution that satisfies all of them. Kind of like what poetry or zypper in SuSE does.

If it's just the order, then that's really lame.
