Re: [Pydev-code] New Auto Config issues

[Jonah G. <jo...@ki...>]

Hi Andrew,

A further problem has been identified with your changes. Summarized by
this TODO that you added in AutoConfigMaker:autoConfigSearch():
                    if (!provider.isInstalled()) { //TODO should it
ALWAYS be installed here??
The answer is that it isn't always installed here, for example we (at
Diamond/DAWN) use this to optionally install a Python install. I.e.
what should be presented is an uninstalled version in the list and if
the user selects it then in should then be installed before the
configuration is continued.

I am working on a proposed fix for this as perhaps the fix may explain
better why the API has an "isInstalled" and a "runInstall" method.

Thanks,
Jonah
