Python setuptools: How to specify a package aliases a third party package?
If I have a package foobar
, I want it to tell pip/setuptools that it also provides package vendor
. So that when I later install another third party package that depends on the vendor
package, it sees that foobar
is installed, and therefore won't install the vendor
package. Is this possible?
foobar
vendor
vendor
foobar
