Hello everyone,
I have a library that depends on ElementTree and needs to support both
Python2.4 and Python2.5 style inclusion of the library.
In Python2.4, it's a standalone package and can be fetched by
"elementtree>=1.2".
In Python2.5, it's integrated into the standard library as xml.etree.
If I pass "elementtree>=1.2.6" in install_requires, setuptools
downloads the Python2.4 standalone version of the package under
Python2.5.
Any way I can express a dependency on elementtree if and only if I'm
installing into 2.4?
Have your setup.py check what version it's running under, and declare
the right dependency (or lack thereof). This is really the only way
to deal with things that are bundled in the stdlib, at least until
such time as the stdlib includes .egg-info for bundled packages.
