This is fine (if some extra typing) if you know what those extras are. Is there any way to ask easy_install to display what extras some_package can use? Currently, I use easy_install to install some_package, keep typing "some_package_script_requiring_extras" to see the repeated DistributionNotFound errors and get them. It would be nice to short-circuit this process from the beginning. Cheers!
