Better having external projects as dependencies? #64

Closed smoe closed 4 years ago

smoe commented 4 years ago

Hello,

I was about to revive a Debian+Ubuntu package of PyUtilib and Pyomo. My initial upload did not pass the reviewers since there are software developments embedded within the PyUtilib source tree that sadly have their additional copyrights hidden somewhere in the tree. I think I can fix that. It would however be nice if you added the COPYING file back in for https://github.com/PyUtilib/pyutilib/blob/master/pyutilib/component/loader/plugin_importLoader.py

Now, a fair amount of your embedded external software is on PyPI. To mind come https://pypi.org/project/Pyro4/ https://pypi.org/project/enum/ Is there a way to use the original libraries instead of the clones you embed? Or would it be desirable to introduce these dependencies?

Cheers, Steffen
