Hi guys,

I'm writing a Python open-source app. My app uses some open source Python libraries. These libraries in turn use other open-source libraries.

I intend to release my code at Sourceforge or Google Code but do I need to include the sources of the other libraries? Is this a good practice? ...or should I simply write this information into a README file informing the use about the other required libraries.

I've placed all these libraries into a libs sub folder in my source directory. When checking my code into SVN, should I use something called svn:externals to link to other sources?

Is there a way to dynamically update my libraries to the latest version or is this something I have to do manually when I release a new version.

My sincerest apologies if my question sounds vague but I'm pretty lost in this matter and I don't know what to Google for.

Thanks all.
