I am using setuptools to maintain some plugins I wrote for a
python based protein viewer. I would like to have another plugin that
simply checks for updates for the currently installed plugins. Code
may help, so basically I would like to run:
from setuptools.command import easy_install
easy_install.main('-U MyPlugin'.split())
This would work fine if I registered my plugins on Pypi, but just
trust me that I shouldn't be pushing this junk up there yet. I saw
the "dependency_links" option, and that is close to what I want.
However, I would also like easy_install to check for an update to
"MyPlugin" there as well.
When issuing an "--upgrade" option, can the "download_url" be checked
automatically, or is there an existing way I can get a handle on that
"download_url" variable to pass to easy_install? Any advice would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Charlie
