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

[Akbar Gumbira]

Hi Matthias,

Is there any pointer to the discussion? If it's possible for me to help, I
could may be make a proposal for next year GSoC on this :)

@Jachym: AFAIK, most plugins now just ship the needed libraries along with
it or ask the users to install them. There are some libraries that are
already shipped into QGIS from the core python plugins (e.g jinja), you
might want to check if what you need is there already.
