NOTE: I've being trying to send this mail several times in the last 2
      weeks. It gets blocked by mailman for some reason and no administrator
      unblocks it. It seems it's recognized by mailman as an administrative
      one. That's why I split some words...

Hi,

  I'd like to re gister sqlkit with PyPi. I would like to know how should I
  set dependancies on pygtk. 

  Would it be enought to set 

  set up (
     ...
     re quires = ['pygtk >= 2.10']
  )


  What real meaning would that have? Is it correct to expect that it would
  at least fail if it's not able to grant an installation of pygtk?

  The question arises since I have looked at some packages (kiwi and a
  couple of others) that do not set any re quire, so I wandered which could
  be the reason.

  I noticed that writing as above in ubuntu jaunty with pygtk already
  installed does not seem to be recognized. An attempt to download pygtk is
  done and then a message that tells that compiling pygtk is not supported
  by distutils (message may be a little different).
