    [fix] Use only ws.find in install · 4f64688e
    Xavier Thompson authored
    Replace `pkg_resources.Environment(ws.entries).best_match(req, ws)`
    with `ws.find(req)`.
    
    The first already starts by calling `ws.find(req)` to attempt to find
    an already activated dist in the working set, but if none is found it
    then proceeds to scan through the entries of the environment - i.e.
    the locations of the directly-requested distributions, `ws.entries` -
    to activate a dist at these locations if one matches.
    
    This is problematic when directly-requested distributions are found in
    a location shared by multiple dists, such as site-packages: this gives
    that location precedence over the normal order of locations scanned by
    easy_install, and can result in undesired versions being chosen over
    versions available in ./eggs or in ./develop-eggs. The random aspect
    of this is also problematic, as the order of paths considered will
    depend on the order of the directly-requested distributions and where
    they are found.
