[issue35830] building multiple (binary) packages from a single project

The way to achieve this is to make sure your two components live in two 
separate directories, each with its setup.py.

This is the simple way that works with distutils/setuptools and pip 
install-from-vcs (you can install from a subdir of a repo).

Yes. Depending on the answer to my question(s), the request either becomes: 
"please add support for this use-case", or "this use-case isn't documented 
properly", i.e. a feature request or a bug report. You choose. :-)

This is a bug tracker for reporting bugs and enhancement requests, not a help 
desk.

Do you have a *specific* feature request or a bug to report? If not, you should 
ask this on a community forum such as Stackoverflow, Reddit's r/learnpython, 
the Python-list mailing list or the Python IRC channel.

[issue35830] building multiple (binary) packages from a single project

[Stefan Seefeld]

New submission from Stefan Seefeld :

I'm working on a project that I'd like to split into multiple separately 
installable components. The main component is a command-line tool without any 
external dependencies. Another component is a GUI frontend that adds some 
third-party dependencies.
Therefore, I'd like to distribute the code in a single source package, but 
separate binary packages (so users can install only what they actually need).

I couldn't find any obvious way to support such a scenario with either 
`distutils` nor `setuptools`. Is there an easy solution to this ? (I'm 
currently thinking of adding two `setup()` calls to my `setup.py` script. That 
would then call all commands twice, so I'd need to override the `sdist` command 
to only build a single (joint) source package.
Is there a better way to achieve what I want ?
