如何为依赖于pypi外部软件包的程序编写setup.py

Question

For instance, what if PIL , python-rsvg and libev3 are dependencies of the program? These dependencies are not in pypi index, the latter two are Debian package names.

Answer 1

You could use setuptools. setuptools allows you to add any kind of Python installable (any distutils/setuptools enabled package) as a dependency, no matter if it is on PyPI or not.

For example, to depend on PIL 1.1.6, use something like:

setup(...,
      install_requires = ["http://effbot.org/downloads/Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz"],
      ...)

See setuptools docs for more information.

Answer 2

只需不要将它们放在依赖项中，而在INSTALL或README文件中进行记录。

Answer 3

If you are packaging something to be installed on Debian (as implied), the best way to manage dependencies is to package your program as a .deb and express the dependencies the Debian way. (Note, PIL is available in Debian as python-imaging .)

Answer 4

由于setup.py也是Python代码，因此您可以在这些软件包上下载并运行setup.py。
