Oh... so what about this: - PyPI publishes setuptools metadata, but in Metadata 1.2 format. The conversion is pretty simple, it's just translating the requires.txt into PEP 345 fields. - We add a marker so we know that those metadata are from setuptools
That way, PyPI has an unified interface to get the dependencies, and if there's an issue in project X because the static metadata fails on platform Y, we ask the project to provide real PEP 345 metadata. -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
