Which is still not allowed syntax IIRC? ;)

Obviously from __pip__ import "run-lambda>=0.1.0" Which is ugly but not my fault :)On Mon, Sep 19, 2016 at 8:16 PM Sven R.

The only issue with it (besides that it doesn't seem to be a good way for dependency management) is how do you manage the syntax involved here? Pip provides distributions. Each distribution contains a set of packages and modules. The latter can be imported, the former not. That's also due to the fact that the name of distribution can contain minuses: from __pip__ import nova-lxd # would this work? What about versions? from __pip__ import run-lambda>=0.1.0 # would this work? Maybe, I thinking too complicated here but if it works for, say, "requests" people tend to want it for special cases as well. :) Cheers, Sven On 19.09.2016 18:55, אלעזר wrote:A library in PyPi still requires installing it, which undermine many of the benefits. It won't help me with my gist/activestate recipe, code that I send to a friend, etc. I want to lower the barrier of inexperienced users. As a documentation of dependencies it will suffice indeed.

This should start out as a library on PyPI. (Sorry, couldn't resist. ;) Actually, it should. Perhaps a name of "import_pip" would make sense? Any hurdles faced by this library would be (mostly) the same as a stdlib version. -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org <mailto:Python-ideas@python.org> https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org <mailto:Python-ideas@python.org> https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct:http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/_______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org <mailto:Python-ideas@python.org> https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
