This gives control of the installer back to the user instead of the setup.py author. https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#declaring-extras-optional-features-with-their- own-dependencies _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
