#20022 Plugin for modifying `install_requirements` New discussion created by StefanUlbrich Similar to writing plugins that add custom python_artifact() keywords, I want to modify the generated

install_requires

post inference (e.g., relax the version of an internal dependency). I think this can be achieved by adding the

@union

decorator to `GenerateSetupPyRequest` (and maybe add an

is_applicable

classmethod?). Then I could write a rule that calls

determine_finalized_setup_kwargs

and modify the requires. This seems to me to be the only way to achieve my goal. I wonder, however, if it is too"hacky". Is it worth opening a pull request for this idea? pantsbuild/pants
