    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-946?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13985054#comment-13985054 ] 

brian wickman commented on MESOS-946:
-------------------------------------

I went ahead and created a placeholder at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mesos to prevent a non-project-related organization from swooping in and taking the top level project name (e.g. something that happened for Pants.)

Once we have a publishable sdist, we should establish a mesos organization on PyPI and add all committers to it.

> Since setup.py uses the build root for compiler flags the sdist produced by "python src/python/setup.py sdist" can't be used outside the machine that built mesos, uploaded to PyPI, or used with a local PyPI mirror. Aurora's Python executor should be installable by `pip` and depend only on the presence of mesos headers and shared libraries, but since the produced sdist is unusable this currently isn't possible.
