unfortunately, configure cannot be told to check for non-dist dependencies.

Iow, we don't check for pyparsing from the tarball configure, as it's not required.

The git build depedencies are leasted in README.

potential way of handling this

Something like this could be done to fail more gracefully when pyparsing is missing in a git checkout.
Comment 3 Olav Vitters 2012-08-09 20:01:27 UTC 
I don't get why this is WONTFIX. This was pretty annoying to debug while packaging 0.12.101 for Mageia.
Comment 4 Christophe Fergeau 2012-08-10 08:13:48 UTC 
Tarballs are supposed to ship the files pyparsing generates, but this got broken recently (I think during the switch to git submodules). But 1 year after, I still think a patch like the one in this bug would be useful.
