[Qgis-developer] Plugin Dependencies

[geodrinx at gmail.com]

Sure, the problem of dependences needs to be solved in python QGIS. 

But, in the meantime, sure (also) that I (or, better We of GEarthView team :) have solved.  Only, you need to wait my next GEarthView 3.0 version ( "Cesium" named :)

A presto !
