That's only a catch-22 if using the package's own ‘setup.py’ to install its dependencies. But installing dependencies is not normally done that way, in part because that catch-22 is common. > I’m not entirely sure what the pythonic way of fixing this is. The correct fix (already in VCS and waiting for another version to be released) is to declare the dependency, upload a new distribution to PyPI, and then PyPI has the metadata available for package installers. Those package installers then know to install the dependencies before beginning with ‘python-daemon’'s install. My thanks to those reporting this omission. -- \ “My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. | `\ Unless there are three other people.” —Orson Welles | _o__) | Ben Finney <[email protected]>
