Dear Kenneth, OK, thanks for clarifying that point.
One thing that surprised me in the context of trying to create a extension-only easyconfig was that, if I forget to include the primary program, such as Python 2.7.15, as a dependency, then the primary program itself, e.g. Python, will be installed as well as the extensions. This only made itself apparent to me when I loaded the extensions module and found that the primary program module was then, due to the conflict, automatically unloaded. Or is this only the case if I also (!) mistakenly have source_urls = ['http://www.python.org/ftp/%(namelower)s/%(version)s/'] sources = [SOURCE_TGZ] ?
