Hey Robert :)

tl;dr: Check this out -> https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2022-April/064661.html

This question has been asked many times but because mailing lists are ... special ... the discussions around it are spread across tens of messages, accessible via arcane and hard-to-navigate websites that might not even be indexed nicely by search engines.

Anyways, just some days ago this was discussed once again on the qgis-developer list: https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2022-April/064661.html

In this case you are lucky that the discussion has not gone into another month yet so you should be able to click on "Next message (by thread)" to see the discussion bit-by-bit. I'd recommend checking the threaded view too though https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2022-April/thread.html because someone might have decided to branch off into another thread with a different mail subject.

If you want to reply, you cannot use your account on the qgis-user mailing list but have to register once again.

No, I don't like mailing lists, thanks for asking! >:( ;)

Cheers, Hannes

Hei everybody!

I am trying to develop a QGIS plugin, and the plugin requires python modules that are not present in the basic QGIS python install. Since i want these packages to install for users that might wish to use the plugin, what method would be the correct one to install the dependencies? I am thinking that some users might have multiple python installs at once, multiple pythonpaths etc.

1. Method using setup.py when installing the module. But how would that run? or when would it run? Very open for suggestions here. 2. Using subprocess with a try and except clause: prone for errors, since any python instance might be called :
    import sys
    import subprocess

    # implement pip as a subprocess:
    subprocess.check_call(['python', '-m', 'pip', 'install',
    '<packagename>'])
3. Using pip.main, which seems to warn about a deprecation possibilities for the future
import pip
pip.main(['install', package])

Method 1 could run one time at the plugin install, whilst methods 2 and 3 would run at every plugin load.
How do you go about adding dependencies to your package?

Kind regards,
Robert Nagy
