Removed setup_requires nose #27

Closed heynemann closed 9 years ago

heynemann commented 10 years ago

I removed it because it becomes a dependency whenever installing retools in production. This would not be an issue if there was not a bug in setuptools.

If there's any packages in setup_requires, setuptools downloads it without respecting any proxy configuration. Since many production servers block outbound connections, it's desirable to remove this attribute.

Any news on this issue?

:+1: I often find setup_requires to be problematic. The problem that has hit me a fair amount: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/209/setup_requires-and-install_requires-dont

Usually I just put dev and testing dependencies in a dev_requirements.txt or test_requirements.txt.
