Re: Excessive dependencies. Right now when you 'pip install pyramid' on a fresh environment, you get 18 packages installed:
Chameleon, Mako, MarkupSafe, Paste, PasteDeploy, PasteScript, WebOb, pyramid, repoze.lru, translationstring, venusian, zope.component, zope.configuration, zope.deprecation, zope.event, zope.i18nmessageid, zope.interface, zope.schema What about this alternative: Instead of installing all the possible dependencies in advance, we only install the bare minimum* needed to generate a project template and populate the project's setup.py (or requirements.txt) with all the necessary additional dependencies depending on which template was used or what options were chosen. Perhaps we could even auto-pip install -r requirements.txt as soon as the project template is created. This would cut down the base pyramid dependencies to just pyramid and Paste*, and the consequent project dependencies would be a few shorter than the total. Sounds like there is probably a magnitude of reasons why this is a bad idea, but worth bringing up. [*] Or perhaps instead of the absolute bare minimum, it could be a "reasonable minimum". - shazow -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
