Non-python dependencies #34
Comments
@bbaassssiiee If we could specify system dependencies in a pipfile, I think it would be a good idea to simply have pip warn the developer about required system dependencies and maybe give them a link to find more information. |
For beginners, installing python packages with dependencies in C has always been a nightmare, because they do not know what to do when errors appear. System dependencies also have the problem of lack of standardization between operating system versions and between operating systems. Probably to make a Hitchtest installation a bit simpler, @crdoconnor create the unixpackage .

It sounds like pipfile is yet another package manager for python, I mean setuptools, pip, easy_install, do we need more? Yes, we do, because of the auxiliary packages, but that is what Conda/Anaconda was designed for. And that is mature already. |
@bbaassssiiee I use the Nix Package Manager https://nixos.org/nix/ for Python and non-Python dependencies. Works great. |
This project has the same scope as |
It would be nice to see pipenv address the issue of third-party packages though. It's a very common issue that @bbaassssiiee ran into. |
Has there been any progress on this subject? Personally, I'd really love an option that helps me using non-Python git repositories from pipfiles. |
Use conda.io |
Does the pipfile manage the required C libraries and platform specific packages too?
