I know PIP install packages from the Python Package Index. However, sometimes, a package requires a system library to work properly (e.g. pycrypto requires the zlib-dev library to be installed). Is there a way to automatically install these dependencies? Or at list enlist them and download them with another package manager like apt-get?

  • I was thinking something more like `pip install --with-system-libs `. – Pepedou May 23 '16 at 23:49

    each packages dont have such dependencies information and pip dont know every OS out there. – YOU May 24 '16 at 00:06
  • or you can install (may be old, different name) pycrypto with apt-get – YOU May 24 '16 at 00:08
  • The thing is, I'm trying to make the application I developed as self contained as possible. And it has happened to my coworkers that when downloading it they've faced those types of errors. – Pepedou May 24 '16 at 01:33
