Releases to pypi.org fail because of a direct dep (zaza)

[esunar]

When doing the following, PyPI denies the upload because of direct dependencies (zaza, zaza-openstack):

$ make release $ twine upload dist/* Uploading distributions to https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ Uploading juju_verify-0.1-py3-none-any.whl 100%|███| 44.1k/44.1k [00:01<00:00, 39.7kB/s] NOTE: Try --verbose to see response content. HTTPError: 400 Bad Request from https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ Invalid value for requires_dist. Error: Can't have direct dependency: "zaza @ git+https://github.com/openstack-charmers/zaza.git#egg=zaza ; extra == 'dev'"

This issue was also reported here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6301

Note: There are no pip packages for those 2 libraries.

(by rgildein) After a long search, I found the following four options:

• define dependencies in tox.ini
• create a post install function in setup.py 1
• exclude extra_requires in setup.py 2
• ask the OpenStack team to release zaza on pypi

I think the best approach would be to use the tox.ini for extra dependencies or exclude extra_requires.
