Hi,

At the risk of exposing of my Python ignorance, here is a doubt regarding galaxy deployment. The galaxy application manages external dependency eggs through it's custom ini specification file and eggs installation scripts. I was wondering if this could be managed through pip using a requirements.txt file. Are there any limitation of the later (pip) approach? Appreciate your comments.

Hi Shantanu, Essentially, Galaxy's egg handling predates pip. It's entirely possible that we could use pip, I haven't looked in to it at all to say whether it'd be possible. --nate
