Overview

force-dependencies is a small package for enforcing package requirements at the class- or function-level.

Simply use:

from force_deps import requires, requires_any, requires_all

@requires("sqlalchemy")
class SQLHandler(object):
    def __init__(self):
        pass

db = SQLHandler()
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ImportError: You must import `sqlalchemy` in order to run `SQLHandler`

to require users to have a package installed in order to use your class or function,

@requires_any(["sqlalchemy", "sqlite3"])
...

to require that users have at least one of a number of packages installed, or

@requires_all(["sqlalchemy", "pandas"])
...

to require that users have all of a number of packages installed in order to use a class or function.

Finally, you can combine the decorators together in pretty much any way you please:

@requires_any(["sqlalchemy", "sqlite3"])
@requires("pandas")
...
