[Qgis-developer] Fwd: A pipinstall plugin is possible? First: What's the difference between the the Osgeo4w Shell?

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

The only gotcha to this is that different plugins might require different
versions of dependencies. We also toyed around in the past with the idea of
each plugin having its own virtualenv for deps and then linking in the QGIS
provided site_packages dir into that virtualenv too.

Regards

Tim
