Subject: Re: [Qgis-developer] Fwd: A pipinstall plugin is possible? First:
    What's the difference between the the Osgeo4w Shell?


Windows doesn't ship with any version of Python. Yay Windows!  So we
bundle our own.  I personally don't mind this so much because it's easier
to control the setup if we bundle it.

The main thing here is just including pip and easy_install in all the
windows installs, standalone and osgeo4w.  Jurgen has told me that
easy_install is included in the 64 bit versions but not 32 bit versions. Is
that correct Jurgen?

If pip is included we can easily have plugins tell us what they need and
we can install them.



+1, this is exactly what I was imaging.
A requirements.txt for pip would be all that a dev should write.


+1, this would be great (we currently manage and bundle deps in MetaSearch
as a workaround).

- we would have to make sure the requirements file is standardized
  (others may have different / additional ones, like requirements-dev.txt,
  pip-requirements.txt, etc.).

- for MetaSearch, the requirements.txt file never makes it to the QGIS
  runtime, so plugin providers would need to make sure it does
