[feature] python_requires; change package_id through attributes

[antoinebardoz]

What is your suggestion?

Hi,

For regular Conan packages, we can change the package_id mode with attributes, such as:

package_id_embed_mode = "unrelated_mode"
package_id_non_embed_mode = "unrelated_mode"
package_id_unknown_mode = "unrelated_mode"

Unfortunately, this doesn't work for a python-require package. I have tried with the following:

def some_function():
    pass

class MyPythonReq(ConanFile):
    name = "python_tool"
    package_type = "python-require"

    package_id_embed_mode = "unrelated_mode"
    package_id_non_embed_mode = "unrelated_mode"
    package_id_unknown_mode = "unrelated_mode"

If one of my packages consumes this python-requirement, the package ID of the consumer changes if the version of python_tool changes. We would like to be able to set it in unrelated_mode using attributes.

Have you read the CONTRIBUTING guide?
