--- Comment #3 from Kubilay Kocak <ko...@freebsd.org> ---
What other transitive dependencies are is not related in the sense that
whatever is declared and configured as dependencies in a setup.py *must be*
satisfied, otherwise run time errors will occur (prior to even using/importing
that functionality)
If a package fails gracefully if a dependency is not available, whether as an
error message ("foo functionality requires installing package: foo"), just
continues in the absence of a module, or otherwise fallback to an alternative
method, then yes, it is effectively optional (more precisely; not
*compulsory*), and should be declared elsewhere (not in install_requires)
