My 2 cents: the only dependencies that needed to be reported are modules needed to run Leo on a standard python install. Thus, in my view, Leo should present itself with a set of plugins that will work out of the box (i.e. on a standard python/os-install).
Any other dependencies that come in by linking up with any other python program, like ipython, pylint, etc. should be resolved by user/maintainer/distribution with respect to that link-able program. This might be not easy to separate as say command-line options such as --ipython that ship with leo won't have an effect without ipython (and the rest which has to be installed on my bare system: six ipython_genutils enum34 traitlets simplegeneric shutil_get_terminal_size Pygments wcwidth prompt_toolkit pathlib pickleshare ptyprocess pexpect jedi decorator ipython ; for pylint: py setuptools-scm pytest pytest-runner python-mccabe six singledispatch ConfigParser functools-lru-cache enum34 ipaddress pies2overrides pies isort python-wrapt python-lazy-object-proxy astroid pylint Of course soon there will be overlap between these modules, but it should not be leo's task to keep track of that I would think. The leo-documentation/@settings could possibly be the place to make this clear. Would it be possible to put these extra's in their own box with an explanation how the link can be made to work? Then it may become clear to users what extras they can install and can use to extend the program if they want to. Anaconda seems not a good option if one aims for a minimal set-up and more understanding of how something operates and can be set-up. As a beginner I found it a bit overwhelming seeing all possibilities and then finding they did not (all) work. Either by lack of proper @settings or by lack of the installed module. I am getting there though (I hope). I learned a lot by going through various files: workbook, leo-cheatsheet,leoSettings, myLeoSettings, scripts, quick-start, on http://leoeditor.com, FAQ.html, tutorial, documentation and what more, but it is not easy to keep track where one found some bit of info. It is all, like instructions for running/downloading/installing/using leo a bit spread. Cheers, rob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
