Question

Is there any eclipse plugin for python dependency management? just like what M2Eclipse does for maven project? so I can resolve all the dependencies and get ride off all the errors when I develop python using pydev.

If there is no such plugin, how do I resolve the dependencies, do I have to install the dependency modules locally?

Answer 1

Typically you handle Python dependencies with setuptools / pip and the Python Package Index. As an end user you will call pip install mypackage and the dependencies will be automatically resolved.

For development it is a common workflow that you distribute a requirements.txt that could be installed in a separate environment via virtualenv. Real life example: requirements.txt and the developer docs
