[Qgis-developer] Plugin Dependencies

[Victor Olaya]

At the moment, you have to ship them with your plugin, in the plugin
zip file. If the lib uses native code, you will need to include
binaries for all OSs that you want to support, and the corresponding
mechanism to pick one or the other.

As an example, you can see how it is done in this plugin

https://github.com/boundlessgeo/qgis-geoserver-plugin/blob/master/src/geoserverexplorer/__init__.py

Dependencies are stored in a folder called "ext-libs", which is added
to the python path by the plugin

Notice that that folder is not in the repo, there is a paver task to
fetch the dependencies from PyPi

Notice also that QGIS has its folder with python libs

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/tree/master/python/ext-libs

Make sure that the libs you require are not already in there,

Hope this  helps
