How can I manage dependencies in my Python project using setuptools?

You can manage dependencies in your Python project by specifying them in the setup.py file using the install_requires argument.

Can you give me an example of how to write that in setup.py?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='my_project',
    version='0.1',
    install_requires=[
        'numpy',
        'requests',
    ],
)

What if I want to specify different dependencies for development?

You can use the extras_require argument in your setup.py to specify additional dependencies for development. For example:

setup(
    extras_require={
        'dev': ['pytest', 'flake8'],
    },
)

Is there a way to install these extra dependencies easily?

Yes! You can install the extra dependencies by using the following command:

pip install my_project[dev]
