A somewhat silly first PR, but it might help someone.
I like and always use the pattern of parsing
requirements.txt
to populate theinstall_requires
parameter insetup.py
. But an annoying restriction to keep in mind is that whileworks with
git+https://...
specifications,install_requires
only accepts proper packages on a packaging index (e.g. PyPI). There is not a good workaround for this as far as I know. All you can do is provide a more helpful error message.Before:
