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?
They *are* somewhere temporary. Buildout's not going to install them
from the setup.py directory, and neither will anything else.
