[Qgis-developer] Module dependencies

[Trevor Wiens]

I agree with earlier comments that this is largely a distribution problem
and that automatic functionality creates some risks.

I posted yesterday about how Windows installs having their own versions of
python installed makes using tools like pip or easy_install challenging.

I can see two possible ways forward:
1. Use a generic python install rather than installing its own version.
This way pip and other tools will work fine.
2. Provide a tool to execute pip for the QGIS specific version of python
for Windows installs (I don't know what happens under Max OS)

It seems to me that option 1 would be the most obvious choice making
Windows installs similar to Linux installs and simpler to add and remove
libraries as needed. I think that adding more and more stuff to the OSGeo4W
install doesn't make sense.
