Building a smaller python extra package

I have a package called mypygeopack, which has lots of dependencies. I wanted to know if I can create a small package using extras:

pip install mypygeopack[tiny]

which will install a stripped down version of the package with only 1-2 dependencies instead of the 4-5.

Thanks

possibly this would work:

pip install --no-deps <package>
pip install -r minimal_requirements.txt // this has the minimal requirements not all.

No, you can't. Extras can only add things, not remove.

It is a question that comes up regularly. People have discussed about it, but as far as I know, nothing concrete came out of those discussions yet:
