-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [QGIS-Developer] External python package dependency in plugins Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2019 21:21:41 +0200 From: Olivier Dalang <[email protected]> To: matteo <[email protected]> Hi, Big +1 for this. I think it should come with clear guidelines for devs though (esp. how to correctly specify versions to avoid conflicting requirements with unnecessary pins). If we want to support this, what about using a requirements.txt file rather than the metadata file? It's more or less a standard which has some benefits such as automatic vulnerability alerts or dependency graph on GitHub.

Having a nice way to install external packages would be a great addition. Some times ago I was involved in a project that needed external packages and we developed an "in house" prototype, but it was far from ideal Cheers Matteo _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list [email protected] List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
