It’s not *exactly* covered— I mean people could stick test dependencies in this new field but I don’t think that setuptools actually exposes the test_requires in any meaningful way (nor do I think people actually use setuptools test support that consistently). So setuptools could get better support for testing dependencies independently of this PEP *or* another PEP could add a similar section that layered ontop of this. It’s definitely out of scope for this particular PEP though. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
