Unfortunately, yeah, it looks like there's a lot of false positives in here :-(. For example your list contains liblzma and libsqlite, but both of these are shipped as dependencies of python itself. So probably someone just forgot to declare the dependency explicitly, but got away with it because the libraries were pulled in anyway. Maybe a better approach would be to look at what libraries are used on by an up-to-date default Anaconda install (on the assumption that this is the best tested configuration), and then erase from the list all libraries that are shipped by this configuration (ignoring declared dependencies since those seem to be unreliable)? It's better to be conservative here, since the end goal is to come up with a list of external libraries that we're confident have actually been tested for compatibility by lots and lots of different users. -n -- Nathaniel J.
