Hi All,
Do you guys on this lists have any ideas how packages can indicate to
package managers like setuptools could indicate that if they are
required by another package, that requirement must be for greater than a
certain version?
This stems from the "backwards compatibility" discussion for
zope.interface here:
https://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2009-November/038417.html
Off the top of my head, zope.component could spell it's requirement as:
def setup(
...
incompatible_with='<4.0'
)
Whereby, setuptools would raise an exception if the following packages
were installed:
def setup(
...
install_requires=['zope.component']
)
def setup(
...
install_requires=['zope.component >= 3.4.1']
)
...while it wouldn't for the following package:
def setup(
...
install_requires=['zope.component >= 4']
)
Ideas?
cheers,
Chris
