[lsst-dm-stack-users] geom package dependencies

[Fabrice Jammes]

Hello,

geom package contains only two python files : geometry.py and 
tests/geometry.py. Nevertheless, in order to run its unit tests 
procedure, file tests/geometry.py relies on utils package. And utils 
depends on "base", "pex_exceptions", "numpy" and "boost". Could we avoid 
adding such a long dependency list to geom, only for running tests ? 
Indeed these dependencies will also be added to Qserv as it depends on 
geom. Please note that Qserv doesn't require for now eups packages numpy 
and boost (as for now it uses system numpy and boost). Furthermore, I 
think numpy dependency may be removed from Qserv with the use of Serge 
partitioner.


Otherwise, could you explain me the meaning of "import lsstimport" in 
python/lsst/_/init/_.py ? (It seems lsstimport is related to SWIG, and 
geom doesn't build SWIG modules. So is this import usefull for geom )

Thanks for your help, and have a nice day,

Fabrice
