I have a setup.py like this:
[...]
extras_require = {'foo': 'pkginfo'},
[...]
entry_points = {'console_scripts': [
'bar=myapp.bar:main',
'foo=myapp.foo:main [foo]',
]}
[...]
When I do a 'python setup.py install', the package 'pkginfo' is *not*
installed as expected. However, the script 'foo' *is* installed. This is
somewhat ironic .. because `foo' as per the definition depends on the
'foo' feature; yet installing 'myapp' (without 'foo' feature) installs the
script 'foo'.
1) What is the rationale behind this behavior? setuptools documentation
reads: "[...] if Project A includes a "rst2pdf" script, it might declare
it like this, so that the "PDF" requirements are only resolved if the
"rst2pdf" script is run". Why install a script if the user installed a
distribution without a particular feature that this script depends on?
2) Is there a workaround to tell setuptools *not* to install scripts
depending on features not asked for?
