Hack for adding dependencies with setuptools when generating RPMS

setup.py

## add this in the beginning of your setup.py script
## and change the RPM_REQUIRED_DEPS variable to reflect your dependencies

RPM_REQUIRED_DEPS = "archipel-core, python-imaging, libvirt-python"

## HACK FOR DEPS IN RPMS
from setuptools.command.bdist_rpm import bdist_rpm
def custom_make_spec_file(self):
    spec = self._original_make_spec_file()
    lineDescription = "%description"
    spec.insert(spec.index(lineDescription) - 1, "requires: %s" % RPM_REQUIRED_DEPS)
    return spec
bdist_rpm._original_make_spec_file = bdist_rpm._make_spec_file
bdist_rpm._make_spec_file = custom_make_spec_file
## END OF HACK

Hi, this hack can be simplified by creating setup.cfg alongside setup.py

[bdist_rpm]
requires=archipel-core,python-imaging,libvirt-python
