Brian #3: PEP 735 – Dependency Groups in pyproject.toml

• Author: Stephen Rosen, Sponsor: Brett Cannon, PEP-Delegate: Paul Moore
• Accepted. Resolotion Oct 10, 2024
• “This PEP specifies a mechanism for storing package requirements in pyproject.toml files such that they are not included in any built distribution of the project.”
• Allow us to define named groups of dependencies that can be independent of the main project.

• ex:

• “might” work like this: pip install --dependency-groups=test,typing

  • but tool venders are able to define how they use groups. Of course.
• Similar solutions
  • multiple requirements.txt files: requirements_test.txt, requirements_docs.txt, etc.
    • no standard naming convention, not standardized
  • package extras:
    • not gauranteed to be statically defined (TIL)
    • additional to main dependencies, so not independent
