Sorry, but I fail to understand the reasoning to reject the setuptools optional dependency. It makes testing easier and more standard for the developer. Since the 'tests_require' contains information about the tests requirements, anyone can run the tests without digging in the source code to know which libraries are required. And when the distribute/setuptools package is not installed, it imports from distutils and it behaves the same as before.
If the request is to split the merge proposal into 2 patches ... why not. For me, they are complementary changes to improve testing, so it makes sense to propose them together. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~florent.x/pyflakes/1097061-unittest2/+merge/142224 Your team Divmod-dev is requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~florent.x/pyflakes/1097061-unittest2 into lp:pyflakes. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~divmod-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~divmod-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
