https://docs.limnoria.net/develop/plugin_distribution.html#via-pip-pypi has been out for almost two years, it's time to:

  1. consider it stable
  2. migrate third-party plugins' install instructions to recommend it
  3. rewrite PluginDownloader to use pip instead of raw git clones when possible
  4. eventually deprecate PluginDownloader

Suggest suggesting/recommending:

  • Running (limnoria) in virtual environments (vs system), showing also:
  • How to inherit system site packages (to benefit from OS packages)
  • Running pip as user (not root), if not using virtualenvs (to avoid polluting system site-packages

Basically a simple 'easy and best practice deployment' guide.
