[QGIS-Developer] Embedded py libs in plugis

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi,

I also was under the impression that this it's ok to ship dependencies
within plugins.

One of the major blockers towards a better world (TM) is that no
pip(-like) tool to auto-install dependency packages at runtime is
available on all platforms (looking at you, Windows). Meanwhile shipping
dep libraries as wheels/eggs/... sounds like the best user experience a
plugin dev can deliver.

Regards

Matthias
