How to reference a variable defined in setup.py?
I've got the following setup.py
:
import itertools
dependencies = {
'minimal': ['numpy', 'requests'],
'option-a': ['scipy'],
'option-b': ['matplotlib']
}
setup(
install_requires=dependencies['minimal'], # minimal dependencies
extras_require={
'all': list(itertools.chain(*dependencies.values())), # all dependencies included
**{k: v for k, v in dependencies.items() if k != 'minimal'}, # each extra dependency group
},
# other setup parameters omitted
)
I used a variable dependencies
to avoid duplicating lists of dependencies and to make it easy to maintain. It seems like a good approach.
I'd like to write a function verify_optional_extras('option-a')
which will check if the packages for the option-a
extras were installed.
If I could access the dependencies
variable defined in setup.py
I could easily write a verification function for those packages.
Possible answers to this question:
- Show me how to access
dependencies
insetup.py
. - Tell me a better way to organize optional dependencies.
