I think the only reason to discourage the inclusion (IF we did, I'm not sure) is that some modules are not cross platform (but most smaller ones are) or are just too big to include. Some (eg Requests) made live really easier (though we have alternatives I think). And others were just needed but not appropriate to bundle with QGIS. So I would think it is ok to include them as long it is practical. We also have been talking about some mechanisme to make it possible to (pip)-install from within QGIS, some kind of virtual environment within QGIS. But that is to be done.... :-) Regards, Richard Duivenvoorde _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
