分发依赖于包的Python脚本

Question

I wrote a script which makes use of Selenium, I installed Selenium through pip. Is there a way that I can distribute this script to others without having them to install Selenium through pip?

I was looking at:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/selenium#downloads

Would it help if I included the source distribution of Selenium from PyPI in my project folder? So that people just would have to click on the source distribution's install.py to install Selenium?

Answer 1

You can use setuptools and use the install_requires keyword.

Like this:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    # options
    install_requires = ['selenium'],
)

See the tutorial here

Then when they install your package/module using pip, selenium will also be installed.

Answer 2

I wasn't able to find a real answer to this problem:

import os
import sys

os.system("python get-pip.py")

try:
    import pip
except ImportError:
    input('Could not install pip, please enter any key to quit this window.')
    sys.exit()


def install(package):
    pip.main(['install', package])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    install('selenium')

I did it like that, it makes use of pip. Now people just can execute that script and both pip and selenium gets installed for them, however I'm unsure whether this is the right way to do it or not.
