Setuptools' "Distribution" object has a method for fetching
dependencies. See setuptools' "test" command for an example. (This
doesn't install the dependencies globally, just drops eggs into the
build directory. But they're there and available to be reused for
installation in a later phase, under normal circumstances.)
...which is all pretty grim. If you use this with other packaging tools,
like, say, buildout, the testing dependencies just get dumped into your
buildout, which is a bit yucky to put it mildly.
How about putting them where other eggs get put but only making them
available for the tests?
Failing that, how about putting them somewhere temporary?
