PEP 345 introduces `Requires-Dist` metadata field that can be used to define *install-time* requirements. Has anyone thought about having a field that can be used to define *build-time* requirement (similar to setuptools' setup_requires?)? Eg: $ grep Build-Requires-Dist lxml-2.2.6/METADATA Build-Requires-Dist: Cython Build-Requires-Dist: Scons $ Or is the only hope to put them all in install_requires/Requires-Dist and have the packagers/installers to resolve and install the dependencies *before* actually attempting to build that module? -srid _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
