Comment (by zooko):

 Replying to [comment:20 davidsarah]:

 > Caveat: {{{check_all_requirements}}} doesn't currently check indirect
 dependencies, e.g. pyOpenSSL, pyutil, argparse, and zbase32.
 {{{require_auto_deps}}} didn't check those either.

 Hm. If we were using {{{pkg_resources}}}, then {{{pkg_resources.require
 ("allmydata-tahoe")}}} would check all dependencies including indirect
 ones like {{{pyOpenSSL}}}.
