 Dependencies
 ------------
 
-``pygrader`` is a simple package.  The only external dependency
-outside the Python 3 standard library is my `pgp-mime`_ package.
+If you're installing by hand or packaging pycomedi for another
+distribution, you'll need the following dependencies:

+========   =====================  ================  =========================
+Package    Purpose                Debian_           Gentoo_
+========   =====================  ================  =========================
+pgp-mime_  secure email                             dev-python/pgp-mime [#pm]
+nose_      testing (optional)     python-nose       dev-python/nose
+NumPy_     statistics (optional)  python-numpy      dev-python/numpy
+=========  =====================  ================  =========================
+
+If NumPy is not installed, we'll fall back to internal implementations
+of the various statistical calculations.
 
 If you are developing ``pygrader``, you can use `update-copyright`_ to
 keep the copyright blurbs up to date.
