[TIP] Tox & setup.py install_requires

[holger krekel]

Randy,

i sympathize with the idea that dependencies are only specified once.
As for your setup, i usually use "setup.py" as specifying the
core dependencies and tox for specifying test, development
dependencies and then use "tox --develop" to avoid re-installing
things.  

I was sometimes thinking that introducing "--inline=env" or "-iENV"
for installing a particular test-environment's deps into the current
environment where tox is invoked from makes sense.  Maybe also a
"--venv-target" so that you can separate the installation of tox
itself from your development environment.

best,
holger
