Description
Right now: requirements are "best effort" separated in a single requirements.txt file by arranging them under comment-headings for the various sub-packages
We could use pip's support for extras-require, e.g. pip install recirq[qaoa]
so the extra requirements could be specified in a structured way. Specifically: I propose an extra-requirements.txt
file in each submodule (i.e. experiment) containing that sub-packages extra requirements. These files could be parsed in setup.py
to generate the extras_require
argument to setuptools.setup.
Currently our notebooks pip install +github.com/quantumlib/recirq
so that they work in a colab environment. We'll need to do the change stepwise to make sure the notebooks don't break
- add extra_requires but don't remove those requirements from install_requires
- update notebooks to pip install recirq with requisite extras, i.e.
pip install +github/recirq[qaoa]
- Remove the extra requirements from install_requires so
pip install recirq
only gets you the minimal, base requirements.
