Would it help if the plugin could fall back to the command line bzr (1) program if bzrlib wasn't installed in your Python? I've modified the code to do this and it seems to work fine either way. I haven't looked, but ISTM that both CVS and Subversion support have to work somewhat similarly. How does setuptools handle things if either cvs (1) or svn(1) weren't available?
It doesn't use them; it just reads CVS/Entries and .svn/entries.
Ah, clever!
You can even declare its dependency on bzrlib and have that automatically installed too, assuming that it's either on the Cheeseshop or you can supply a download link or page with download links in your setup(find_links=[...]).
I don't quite understand this last bit. Is there documentation on the find_links keyword argument? I couldn't find it. What I did find was dependency_links so I added the following to my setup.py:
Eep, I meant dependency_links.
Turns out not to be necessary. Now that the cheeseshop is back up, I was able to check and find out that bzr is in there. It doesn't exactly help though because the tarball is broken. There's an open bug on this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/125521/+index
I haven't actually tested this part because I can't find documentation on instructing 'python setup.py install' to install optional packages (is that even possible from the command line?).
Try 'install_requires' instead of 'extras_require'.
Great for testing, thanks. But um, how /do/ normal users tell setup.py to install those extra packages? Again, thanks Phillip. Now that the Cheeseshop is back up, you can grab the package from here: http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/setuptoolsbzr Cheers, - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRqF8bXEjvBPtnXfVAQKxEgP/a3xzia9QIljMzCYa5WTvt6mduOPAvigm iFkMNltxPsP08v6WmoGoFPuYfZOuDve89lw1hpW7JXk4Be7xpgUOC+2yG9rkJTp6 brWmoeH7o/AunfyrgqAkbc2zpIq/GUXDtF+Lx5/jXfClXvliBaR9G2X+chSjSlF1 8pT+D/Liv0w= =CUOD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
