We are currently developing a QGIS plugin were we
wish to generate some Excel files as output. <br>
<br>
In order to build the spreadsheet file we need to
use some python modules installed from pip
(openpyxl, xlwt, etc). This dependency will force
every user to manually install the needed package
form the pip repository.<br>
<br>
</div>
This situation leaves us with the following
question: is possible or it will be in the future to
manage this kind of dependencies from QGIS side when
the user installs the plugin? <br>

<div>Although it has been discussed and some prototyping was
done to support automatic installation of dependencies at
the last hackfest, there isn’t anything in the released
versions of QGIS to support this yet. If your packages have
no operating system specific binaries in them, then I
suggest to bundle them into your plugin and use an
appropriate import path relative to your code. Note there is
a limit on how big your plugin can be (I think it is 10mb)
so you need to ensure your 3rd party deps do not bulk out
your plugin too much.</div>

We bundled xlwt and xlrd as .egg with a plugin recently:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/opengisch/shpsync/blob/master/xlwt-1.0.0-py2.7.egg" target="_blank">https://github.com/opengisch/shpsync/blob/master/xlwt-1.0.0-py2.7.egg</a><br>
<a href="https://github.com/opengisch/shpsync/blob/master/xlrd-0.9.4-py2.7.egg" target="_blank">https://github.com/opengisch/shpsync/blob/master/xlrd-0.9.4-py2.7.egg</a><br>
<br>
Until there's a cross-platform dependency management (which I know
that several people are looking into) that's the safest road to
follow.<br>
