Dependencies

If software has dependencies, it means it depends on other software.

Often there’s a distribution system to install these dependencies. e.g. pip

There’s a link from the software to it’s dependencies.

often a dependency has

• A checksum
• A location
• A name
• A version

• Maya plugin
  • There is no native support for dependencies on:
• versioning
  • Handling multiple versions of something,
• Unreal python plugin template
  • the included Unreal dependencies installer auto installs dependencies on Unreal startup from requirements.txt
• plugget - create a self-installing plugin
  • replaced plugget vendor with Unreal dependencies installer, which uses py-pip, a simpler solution for Unreal. Less good for plugget.
    But plugget has more dependencies, and the extra 3 Mb vendor size seems too bloated.
• vendoring
  • Vendoring means copying the source code of another project into your project
• Maya plugin manager
  • plugin dependencies
• Unreal dependencies installer
  • Auto install Python module dependencies in Unreal, using py-pip.
• expose a python tool in plugget without wrapping it
  • Currently, I always wrap a tool in a wrapper plugin, publishing it in its own GitHub repo.
• ensure fbx plugin is loaded in Maya
  • dependencies between 2 Maya plugins
