Can a Python package depend on a specific version control revision of another Python package?

As part of my project's setup process, I need to symlink one of the packages to a specified directory so an init.d script can find it.

If I have a script that builds eggs, basically by running python setup.py bdist_egg --exclude-source-files for a number of setup.py files that use setuptools to define how eggs are built, is there an easy way to determine if there were any errors in building the egg? A situation I had recently, was that there was a syntax error in a ...

If another package wants to require more than one extra from the first package, can it ask for 'requires' : [ 'mypackage[PDF, DOC...

I would like to release a python module I wrote which depends on several packages. What's the easiest way to make it so these packages are programmatically downloaded just in case they are not available on the system that's being run?

"UserWarning: Unbuilt egg for setuptools" - What does this actually mean?
Hiya. When I install things into a virtualenv using pip I often see the message "UserWarning: Unbuilt egg for setuptools".

Having my Python package install shortcuts in Start menu
I'm making a Python package that gets installed with a setup.py file using setuptools. The package includes a GUI, and when it's installed on a Windows machine, I want the installation to make a folder in "Programs" in the start menu, and make a shortcut there to a pyw script that will start the GUI.

Having py2exe include my data files (like include_package_data)
I have a Python app which includes non-Python data files in some of its subpackages. I've been using the include_package_data option in my setup.py to include all these files automatically when making distributions. It works well. Now I'm starting to use py2exe.

Given a Python package, how can I automatically find all its sub-packages? I used to have a function that would just browse the file system, looking for folders that have an __init__.py* file in them, but now I need a method that would work even if the whole package is in an egg. ...
Python: Why do some packages get installed as eggs and some as "egg folders"?
I maintain a few Python packages. I have a very similar setup.py file for each of them. However, when doing setup.py install, one of my packages gets installed as an egg, while the others get installed as "egg folders", i.e. folders with an extension of "egg". I couldn't figure out what is the difference between them that causes this di...
Installing Python egg dependencies without apt-get
I've got a Python module which is distributed on PyPI, and therefore installable using easy_install. It depends on lxml, which in turn depends on libxslt1-dev. I'm unable to install libxslt1-dev with easy_install, so it doesn't work to put it in install_requires. Is there any way I can get setuptools to install it instead of resorting to...
