      [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.
