Hi all, In many Python libraries, depends_lib is used to store dependencies listed in install_requires of setup.py. According to MacPorts documents, depends_lib is for dependencies that are necessary for both build-time and run-time, and depends_run is for those required in run-time only. For most Python libraries, especially pure Python ones, the build step is just copying Python sources files to a build/ directory, and dependencies are not checked. So, the question is: why depends_lib is used in these cases instead of depends_run?
