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

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
