I use the 'develop' command instead of 'install' as it does not copy the source files to site-packages, and I can continue developing on the working copy .. thanks to .egg-link. My project also has 'extras' dependencies. Is there a way to get these dependencies installing automatically with the develop command?
None of the options that 'setup.py develop' takes seem to be applicable to the extra dependencies.

You could add 'MyProject[extra1,...]' to your install_requires, but you'd need to remember to take them back *out* later. ;-)

I suppose I could add an --extras option in 0.7. Patches welcome. ;-)
