4. (if time permits) Move any dependency resolution code out into a
separate library.

   This would make it possible for other projects (like buildout or a
future pip replacement) to reuse the dependency resolver.


Thank you!


Welcome!


...

I do intend to reuse some of the work done by Robert Collins in PR #2716 on
pip's GitHub repository.


Are you aware of the proof of concept in distlib?


I am. I had looked at it a few weeks back. IIRC it makes a dependency graph
using distlib and operates with that.

I haven't really understood how it gets the information about dependencies
without downloading the packages... I'll give it another pass this weekend.
