setuptools/distutils has never implemented "Requires-Dist" from PEP345 for PKG-INFO. Otoh, wheel has, combined with PEP376, so you'll see it in *.dist-info METADATA files, when installing from wheels. install_requires is the name of the keyword argument to setup() that > specifies a dependency on another distribution. > yes > Sanity-check: This doesn't mean that one should call setup() with a > "required_dist" keyword argument, right? > right As I understand it. the setup.cfg revolution never happened, > right, see http://packaging.python.org/en/latest/future.html > Also, I just created a trivial setup.py that contains an > "install_requires" and doing "python setup.py develop --user" does seem to > have created a PKG-INFO file, but it doesn't have a "Requires-Dist" line. > look for the "requires.txt" file. the dependency is in there.
