I use the 'develop' command instead of 'install' as it does not copy the source files to site-packages, and I can continue developing on the working copy .. thanks to .egg-link. My project also has 'extras' dependencies. Is there a way to get these dependencies installing automatically with the develop command?

You could add 'MyProject[extra1,...]' to your install_requires, but you'd need to remember to take them back *out* later. ;-)

None of the options that 'setup.py develop' takes seem to be applicable to the extra dependencies.

I suppose I could add an --extras option in 0.7.  Patches welcome.  ;-)
