Comment (by ionic@…):

 Replying to [comment:16 alexander.held@…]:
 > The commented-out dependencies in py-pyphant-tools and py-pyphant-osc
 are outdated and have been removed.

 Thanks (also to Mojca!) :)

 > The suggested patch for py-pyphant-imageprocessing will break the port,
 as PIL is also a dependency on the setuptools level. The runtime plugin
 mechanism for adding the py-pyphant-imageprocessing toolbox to py-pyphant
 will fail when it cannot resolve this dependency as it is based on
 pkg_resources. The Pillow/PIL fallback mechanism would also have to be
 implemented on the setuptools level. We are working on a solution for py-
 pyphant-imageprocessing. Any helpful input is welcome. We have also set
 all pyphant related ports to openmaintainer.

 Thanks for checking.

 Unfortunately, I cannot provide any help. I've been looking around the
 setuptools documentation, but couldn't find any mention of multiple
 dependencies/packages satisfying one dependency. Maybe there is just no
 such thing in setuptools yet?
