-# Installing with `easy_install`, e.g. `python setup.py install` or `python setup.py develop`, has some quirks when
-# when pulling in third-party dependencies. For example:
-# - On Windows, we often hit an SSL error although `pip` can install just fine.
-# - It happily pulls in pre-releases, which can lead to more problems down the line.
-#   `pip` does not unless explicitly told to do so.
-# Thus, we use `easy_install` to extract the third-party dependencies here and install them upfront with `pip`.

-# The requires.txt cannot be used with `pip install -r` directly. The requirements are listed at the top and the
-# optional dependencies come in non-standard syntax after a blank line. Thus, we just extract the header.
