Creating optional dependencies

[Martin15135215]

It is also known as extras

currently, I also use this library to solve truss system like those

I do not require the dependencies, for example the Vis component of this library. Would it be possible to incorporate them as extras?

Thank you very much and have a happy new year.

I am planning to do this. I have not yet had time. Thanks for the feedback! There is also calfem-python-small.

Thanks for pointing me to calfem-python-small. I did not know it, since it was not mentioned https://github.com/CALFEM/calfem-python or https://calfem-for-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

I then looked further and found it in the https://github.com/CALFEM/calfem-python/blob/master/setup.py and https://github.com/CALFEM/calfem-python/blob/master/setup-org.py

calfem-python-small has the following dependencies:

calfem-python/setup.py

Line 92 in 8c97464

install_requires=['numpy', 'visvis', 'matplotlib', 'scipy', 'gmsh', 'tabulate'],

calfem-python has the following dependencies:

calfem-python/setup-org.py

Line 92 in 8c97464

install_requires=['numpy', 'visvis', 'pyvtk', 'matplotlib', 'scipy', 'gmsh', 'qtpy', 'vedo', 'tabulate'],

Is the difference just the number of installed dependencies between these two versions?

Here is the link how to do optional dependencies in setup.py

setup(
    name="Package-A",
    ...,
    extras_require={
        "PDF": ["ReportLab>=1.2", "RXP"],
    },
)
