[Sugar-devel] sugar-pippy dependencies

[Bernie Innocenti]

Hello,

the sugar-pippy rpm in Fedora depends on pygame, which is used by some
of the examples.

So far, so good, but pygame in turn depends on numpy, a 7.7MB package
which a lot of huge dependencies such as atlas (11MB), libgfortran
(1MB), blas (700KB) and python-nose (1MB).

The rest of Sugar is now free of numpy, so it would be good if we could
get rid of it completely.  One quick solution would be splitting the
problematic examples to a sugar-pippy-examples-extra package.

Another possibility -- probably the cleanest -- would be splitting the
optional classes surfarray and sndarray to a subpackage of pygame.
