Use the pkg_resources module, specifically the requires() method of Distribution objects: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources#distribution-methods Here are some ways to obtain Distribution objects: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources#getting-or-creating-distributions > And >hopefully not have to download the egg. No, sorry, you have to have the egg to extract its requirements. >If the above idea doesn't go anywhere - is it possible that the package >requirements could be added to CheeseShop's XMLRPC? Requirements can be Python version and platform-specific, so I'm afraid this can't be reasonably captured in a Cheeseshop entry at the present time. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
