pip install pylyzer to install erg as well

[h5rdly]

Hi,

First of all, cheers for this awesome package.

Would it be possible to add the Erg installation to setup.py, or by some other method, so that erg is installed when one runs
pip install pylyzer?

(ie the same way pandas installs numpy etc. for you when you run pip install pandas)

Thanks,
Eli

The reason erg is in pylyzer's dependencies is not because pylyzer calls the Erg compiler. What is really needed is a set of type definition files for the Erg standard library. pylyzer itself can be installed with pip, but the installation of this library requires cargo or ergup.

So we want to run ergup during pip installation. This is what I am currently trying to do, however, I don't know how to make the pre-install script run while installing the wheel package.

Now you can now install pylyzer using pip without any additional action.
