If I'm not mistaken this patch relies only on the presence of
requirements.txt. This is not a required file in python
packaging. otherwise said, we miss a lot using this method. I think
the best way to do that would be to:
- download the package and extract it
- create an environment (#)
- create a virtual env with access to system site package of the
environment (#)
- enter the venv and install the package
- use `pip freeze -l` to retrieve the full set of dependencies
Cyril, WDYT?
I’m not familiar with the details, but my feeling is that reading
requirements.txt is more lightweight, simpler, and more robust than
what
you propose.
So I’d be inclined to apply Cyril’s patch ASAP.
