Description (last modified by spli)
If a consortium add on is installed it may require third party dependencies such as Python modules, other compiled libraries, etc.
E.g. https://github.com/openmicroscopy/omero_searcher/pull/9#issuecomment-21789327 onwards
We should consider some guidelines on 'best practice'. For example, if we recommend using virtualenv should we also recommend the --system-site-packages flag? The advantage is that admins can install many OMERO dependencies using a distribution provided package instead of having to use pip and potentially deal with compilation problems (especially with numpy and scipy), and also means they won't unexpectedly get a major version bump. The disadvantage is that you can end up with an incompatible mix of modules.
For Matlab should we have a recommended version? E.g. FLIMfit https://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/community/minutes/conference-calls/2013/2013-07-30-tuesday-team-meeting
If we ever have multiple projects requiring different versions of the same dependency it could get interesting.

Discussing with Sebastien. This issue may be a little larger than we can tackle at the moment.

Removing from the current sprint since it is a larger issue. This might be turned into a story.

Closing, will be handled in Trello if necessary.
i suspect Sebastien is going to be the best person to handle this - changing ownership & sprint to August testing run.
