Unfortunately not, as dependencies currently aren't generally available in a declarative form, they're obtained by executing the setup.py file contained in the source archive :( As a result, the approach most folks currently take is to let installation tools like `pip` worry about the problem, as they recursively download the required dependencies as part of the installation process. The `pip download` command is provided specifically for the use case where the goal is just to obtain the required package set, without necessarily installing them: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_download/ Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
