[QGIS-Developer] QGIS plugin depends on pypi package

[Tim Sutton]

Hi (writing offlist here)

If you coordinate with me, it is also possible for me to manually add your
plugin to the repo to bypass the size limit. I prefer not to do these
manual things as general practice - I don't want to become responsible for
rolling out plugin authors updates.

Regards

Tim
