Dependencies only work for setuptools compatible distributions, which the standard PIL currently isn't. Therefor you cannot just pull it in as an egg dependency. Anyone doing this relies on having first installed a repackaged PIL distribution into their site-packages or having it in their egg cache. There's other issues with it, like having to have lots of C libraries installed and having to have a C compiler as well. > I'm hopeful that > this can change in the future - I got a positive response to > http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2010-August/006480.html by > private email. It's really good to hear you got a positive response on this. I assume the response was from Fredrik Lundh? Given the frequency of PIL releases we'll get this in a PIL 1.1.8 in 2011 or 2012 I'd guess ;) Hanno _______________________________________________ Framework-Team mailing list Framework-Team@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/framework-team
