[Qgis-developer] standard way for custom plugin python dependencies

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Jachym,

Unfortunately not. This has been discussed and is something that will
certainly be added at some point but so far nobody implemented it
(basically because of its cross-platform nature I think).

Your possibilities are:

 * Document and print nice warnings
 * Ship the dependency packaged with your plugin
 * Fix it by adding dependency management in QGIS

Cheers
Matthias
