Trying to get platformio working on Solus, but, as expected, click is too new. Any news?

@W-Floyd you can use virtualenv temporary if you need to mix multiple click versions

Hmm, I've not used it before, but from what I can tell, it's not adequate for packaging purposes, as a permanent solution. I'll have to check with the devs, but it probably means platformio isn't suitable for packaging on Solus.

Any chance this will happen any time soon ? It was raised in 2015 is this such a major change ?
I was hoping to try it out but cant because I have click 6 and dont really want to mess around with venv.

Please use [PlatformIO IDE]( See http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/ide/vscode.html), we install PlatformIO Core into an isolated environment automatically.

You can do this manually too, see http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/installation.html#virtual-environment

P.S: @mitsuhiko has removed key functionality from Click 6.0 on the which PlatformIO depends. I will check if we can switch to another Python package which has similar functionality.

That would be nice or use argparser its built in and less likely to get breaking changes, kinda want the integration into my current ide thats the appeal of platformio it already has support if you have platformio installed just that my distro has bang up to date packages.

But good to know you will consider I guess a change will be needed at some point if the versioon of click you need will no longer be maintained.
