If it helps, I'm trying to release pyzmq-14.1 in the next week or so. I was
planning to make an RC today or tomorrow. 14.1 will bundle libsodium when
it bundles libzmq. That still doesn't cover the case entirely, because if
pyzmq can find a libzmq on the system, it will link it, even if it doesn't
link libsodium.
Quite simply, setuptools does not have the capacity to express dependencies
on non-Python things. I see two main choices:
1. check for libsodium in setup.py (zmq.curve_keypair() will fail in the
absence of libsodium), and fail (or warn) manually with a message saying
that they need to rebuild libzmq and/or pyzmq.
2. make the same check at import time. This will be the most visible to
users.
I would recommend #2 because #1 *will not* work if you ever decide to build
wheels, because wheels do not allow you to express any nontrivial logic at
install time.
If you want a command that will guarantee pyzmq with libzmq and libsodium
to include in this message (once I release it), it would be:
pip install pyzmq>=14.1.0 --install-option="--zmq=bundled"
