Conditional metadata for Python versions does not have to be very
complicated in my opinion. Simply have the following in setup.cfg, and
thus in PKG-INFO:
install_requires = ['lxml', 'multiprocessing[pyver<(2,6)]', 'argparse',
'pywin32[platform.name=windows]']
If you spelled that [python-lt-26] and [platform-windows], it'd even
be syntax compatible with today's setuptools; there'd just need to be
a way to specify default "extra" tags to be always
installed. (Technically, '.', and '_' characters would be usable as
well as '-'.)
I don't imagine fields other than `install_requires` to vary based on the
target environment.
I have a package or two that change py_modules and the like based on
environment, but I could probably refactor them to use separate installation.
