Egg with option to install extra packages

[Sebastjan Trepca]

Hi,

I'm trying to distribute my application which also support some extra
libraries but does not require them to run. I set the "extra" option
but I don't know how could I specify that I want to install my
application with any of that extra packages.

So now I have in my setup.py like this:

      extras_require={
        'postgresql': ['psycopg2'],
        'mysql': ['MySQLdb'],
        'odbc': ['pyodbc'],
        'mssql': ['pymssql'],
        },

Could I now specify an extra package when installing?

ie. easy_install my_egg.egg --extra=postgresql,mysql,odbc


Thanks!
