Hi all Is there a pip implementation of the PythonPackage easyblock, or some equivalent that manages prerequisites automatically?
Our users are used to having python modules simply available from the base python libraries, installed using pip. This way, as long as they have the Python module loaded, all the python modules therein are also available without loading additional modules. From what we can see, the PythonPackage easyblock uses setuptools, and does not check for dependencies as much, so it's up to us to include them in the dependencies list. Are we perhaps missing something, or is there a more pip-like easyblock Of course, we know there are issues arising from managing python modules (with pip) outside of EasyBuild, but we're exploring all options.
