(And are therefore not + in source control or are files that you don't want to include in your + source distribution.) + +``zip_safe`` + A boolean (True or False) flag specifying whether the project can be + safely installed and run from a zip file. If this argument is not + supplied, the ``bdist_egg`` command will have to analyze all of your + project's contents for possible problems each time it builds an egg. + +``install_requires`` + A string or list of strings specifying what other distributions need to + be installed when this one is. See the section below on `Declaring + Dependencies`_ for details and examples of the format of this argument. + +``entry_points`` + A dictionary mapping entry point group names to strings or lists of strings + defining the entry points. Entry points are used to support dynamic + discovery of services or plugins provided by a project. See `Dynamic + Discovery of Services and Plugins`_ for details and examples of the format + of this argument. In addition, this keyword is used to support `Automatic + Script Creation`_. + +``extras_require`` + A dictionary mapping names of "extras" (optional features of your project) + to strings or lists of strings specifying what other distributions must be + installed to support those features. See the section below on `Declaring + Dependencies`_ for details and examples of the format of this argument. + +``python_requires`` + A string corresponding to a version specifier (as defined in PEP 440) for + the Python version, used to specify the Requires-Python defined in PEP 345. + +``setup_requires`` + A string or list of strings specifying what other distributions need to + be present in order for the *setup script* to run. ``setuptools`` will + attempt to obtain these (even going so far as to download them using + ``EasyInstall``) before processing the rest of the setup script or commands. + This argument is needed if you are using distutils extensions as part of + your build process; for example, extensions that process setup() arguments + and turn them into EGG-INFO metadata files. + + (Note: projects listed in ``setup_requires`` will NOT be automatically + installed on the system where the setup script is being run. They are + simply downloaded to the ./.eggs directory if they're not locally available + already. If you want them to be installed, as well as being available + when the setup script is run, you should add them to ``install_requires`` + **and** ``setup_requires``.) + +``dependency_links`` + A list of strings naming URLs to be searched when satisfying dependencies. + These links will be used if needed to install packages specified by + ``setup_requires`` or ``tests_require``. They will also be written into + the egg's metadata for use by tools like EasyInstall to use when installing + an ``.egg`` file. + +``namespace_packages`` + A list of strings naming the project's "namespace packages". A namespace + package is a package that may be split across multiple project + distributions. For example, Zope 3's ``zope`` package is a namespace + package, because subpackages like ``zope.interface`` and ``zope.publisher`` + may be distributed separately. The egg runtime system can automatically + merge such subpackages into a single parent package at runtime, as long + as you declare them in each project that contains any subpackages of the + namespace package, and as long as the namespace package's ``__init__.py`` + does not contain any code other than a namespace declaration. See the + section below on `Namespace Packages`_ for more information. + +``test_suite`` + A string naming a ``unittest.TestCase`` subclass (or a package or module + containing one or more of them, or a method of such a subclass), or naming + a function that can be called with no arguments and returns a + ``unittest.TestSuite``. If the named suite is a module, and the module + has an ``additional_tests()`` function, it is called and the results are + added to the tests to be run. If the named suite is a package, any + submodules and subpackages are recursively added to the overall test suite. + + Specifying this argument enables use of the `test`_ command to run the + specified test suite, e.g. via ``setup.py test``. See the section on the + `test`_ command below for more details. + +``tests_require`` + If your project's tests need one or more additional packages besides those + needed to install it, you can use this option to specify them. It should + be a string or list of strings specifying what other distributions need to + be present for the package's tests to run. When you run the ``test`` + command, ``setuptools`` will attempt to obtain these (even going + so far as to download them using ``EasyInstall``). Note that these + required projects will *not* be installed on the system where the tests + are run, but only downloaded to the project's setup directory if they're + not already installed locally. + +.. _test_loader: + +``test_loader`` + If you would like to use a different way of finding tests to run than what + setuptools normally uses, you can specify a module name and class name in + this argument. The named class must be instantiable with no arguments, and + its instances must support the ``loadTestsFromNames()`` method as defined + in the Python ``unittest`` module's ``TestLoader`` class. Setuptools will + pass only one test "name" in the `names` argument: the value supplied for + the ``test_suite`` argument. The loader you specify may interpret this + string in any way it likes, as there are no restrictions on what may be + contained in a ``test_suite`` string. + + The module name and class name must be separated by a ``:``. The default + value of this argument is ``"setuptools.command.test:ScanningLoader"``. If + you want to use the default ``unittest`` behavior, you can specify + ``"unittest:TestLoader"`` as your ``test_loader`` argument instead. This + will prevent automatic scanning of submodules and subpackages. + + The module and class you specify here may be contained in another package, + as long as you use the ``tests_require`` option to ensure that the package + containing the loader class is available when the ``test`` command is run. + +``eager_resources`` + A list of strings naming resources that should be extracted together, if + any of them is needed, or if any C extensions included in the project are + imported. This argument is only useful if the project will be installed as + a zipfile, and there is a need to have all of the listed resources be + extracted to the filesystem *as a unit*. Resources listed here + should be '/'-separated paths, relative to the source root, so to list a + resource ``foo.png`` in package ``bar.baz``, you would include the string + ``bar/baz/foo.png`` in this argument. + + If you only need to obtain resources one at a time, or you don't have any C + extensions that access other files in the project (such as data files or + shared libraries), you probably do NOT need this argument and shouldn't + mess with it. For more details on how this argument works, see the section + below on `Automatic Resource Extraction`_. + +``use_2to3`` + Convert the source code from Python 2 to Python 3 with 2to3 during the + build process.
