If you do an install which involves fetching and evaluating the
setup.py, this will suffice. What I don't understand is what happens
if declarative metadata is generated, e.g. a "twisted.egg-info/
requires.txt" file which lists requirements. Will that file contain
"pywin32" if Twisted was built on Windows but not if it was built
elsewhere? Do those files get transferred around, such as in source
distributions?
Yes... but when you test or install from a source distribution,
those files get rebuilt. And of course, the binary distributions are
platform-specific.
