It might be that nobody was aware of this. The last discussion I read ended in "EGG_INFO does not record the test_require data". This is good news. I think the people most interested in stripping dependencies should add a feature to zc.buildout making this info usable as a first step. Once an example has been given on how to use this new pattern, packages can be quickly updated to use it. Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter Web Software Design, Development and Training Google me.
