python-openstackclient doesn't require python-heatclient

[Mark Kennedy]

Hi,

On multiple clean systems, it is noticed that pip install of python-openstackclient, doesn't bring in python-heatclient as a dependency. Any openstack stack commands like openstack stack list therefore don't work.

Should setup.py for python-openstackclient be updated to require python-heatclient? Currently it needs to be installed manually for openstack stack commands to work.

Regards,
Mark

The dependency is actually the other way. It is python-heatclient which needs python-openstackclient if you want to use the heat openstackclient commands.

Ah OK, I guess just as a user, when I see videos that heat client is being deprecated, in favour of openstackclient, when I download / install openstackclient I would assume it should bring anything it needs to run all of the relevant commands, eg openstack stack list.

From a practical point of view openstackclient can't depend on every project which contributes commands to the openstack command.
