python - How to install prerequisites for running setup.py in setuptools? -
setuptools.setup offers install_requires argument. specified packages installed @ end of setup.py. seems there're other requirements sections (tests_require , requirements). didn't find info on latter because help(setuptools.setup) doesn't contain useful information it's arguments. checked source of distutils.distribution distutils/dist.py, doesn't contain useful documentation (one might - @ all).
i know setuptools isn't self-bootstrapping (like e.g. maven). want make sure i'm not missing something.
i can imagine straightforward workarounds installating pip , subprocress.* functions. i'm looking declarative solution.
maybe need setup_requires parameter: building , distributing packages setuptools
