Dependencies by python version

Closed this issue · 4 comments

It should be possible to set dependencies by Python version to allow installing backported modules only when needed.

Not just different versions of the Python language (and reference implementation) but also for different interpreters like PyPy and Pyston.

On a similar note, but quite a bit harder, what about different operating systems?

e.g. For running a file watcher I need to install one and only one of pywin32 (Windows) or MacFSEvents (macOS) or pyinotify (Linux).

This is currently accomplished with custom code in setup.py.

@jacebrowning Yes, that as well.

This is for application deployments, and will be used to target one specific operating system, if any.
