Hi All,
I'm using buildout to develop a package that uses sqlalchemy and
sqlalchemy-migrate.
As a result, I'd like to test with various real database drivers; mysql,
postgres, etc.
However, I don't want to force anyone who wants to check out and run the
tests to have all supported database drivers available and compiled.
So, I'm looking for some way of specifying "optional eggs" when running
the buildout, and not in buildout.cfg so they don't accidentally get
checked in.
How can I achieve this?
Next to the install_requires in setup.py you add an extras_requires;
here is an example from the plone.app.discussion package:
extras_require = {
'test': [
'plone.app.testing',
'interlude',
]
},
If you want to install these extra dependencies in e.g. a buildout
config, you specify plone.app.discussion[test] as an egg.
