Hi list, Is there a preferred way to distribute programs that depends on third party modules like PyQt, Beautifulsoup etc? I have used setuptools and just having the setup script check for the existence of the required modules. If they're not found I have it exit with a message that it need this or that installed.
But this is not very convenient for the end user and I have got a few complaints about it. Am I missing something in setuptools or is there a better way to do it (except for bundling the modules in the package which seem like a rather nasty workaround)?
