This generator uses upstream egg/dist metadata (such as setuptool’s install_requires <https://python-packaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dependencies.html>) * Considering the file vs dir difference in metadata storage, I would say it's fair to expect dependencies to be strict. I myself don't have any Python packages yet, but I'll try to pay extra attention to python3-setuptools in the future :).
