But I do appreciate the virtue of making this information programmatically accessible, and certainly would have no objection to contributors here. But do note: - We currently do not keep track of version requirements for optional dependencies. It would take some investigation/testing to figure out what works. - This is not a widespread practice among Python data/numerical computing projects. For example, pandas does not do this.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,432058005 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/2888#issuecomment-482434962,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/2888,482434962,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQ4MjQzNDk2Mg==,1217238,2019-04-12T04:42:41Z,2019-04-12T04:42:41Z,MEMBER,"We test xarray continuously against the latest released versions of all these dependencies (and older versions, too, in many cases). For xarray and netCDF4, for example, you could simply use `pip install xarray netcdf4`. Are there particular subpackages you would suggest?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,432058005
