PEP 771 – Default Extras for Python Software Packages | peps.python.org
PEP 508 specifies a mini-language for declaring package dependencies. One feature of this language is the ability to specify extras, which are optional components of a distribution that, when used, install additional dependencies. This PEP proposes a me...
@Armavica This capability ("default extras") doesn't exist yet, but I have definitely seen a proposal for it. I hope that gets accepted and implemented at some point.
Until then, if you wind up explaining this in your package's installation instructions and telling people they have to manually select one of the three extras, you certainly wouldn't be alone. Of course it'd be ideal if your package (or keras) also checks at runtime and give a useful error message if it doesn't find any of the three dependencies installed.
EashwarFor those following along on this 'exciting' saga, I did, in fact, submit a PR. It has been merged and a new version of pypostal has been released. Another OSS success story.
https://github.com/openvenues/pypostal/pull/96
Didn't realize that homebrew finally packaged libpostal, that's awesome! Still can't use pypostal though because it has hard coded lib and include dirs that don't work with homebrew's /opt/homebrew/... prefix 😞
Also it still claims python 2 support 😬
I wonder if they'd be open to PRs…
