pip install dependency links
You need to make sure you include the dependency in your install_requires
too.
Here's an example setup.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
from setuptools import setup
setup(
name='foo',
version='0.0.1',
install_requires=[
'balog==0.0.7'
],
dependency_links=[
'https://github.com/balanced/balog/tarball/master#egg=balog-0.0.7'
]
)
Here's the issue with your example setup.py
:
You're missing the egg name in the dependency links you setup.
You have
https://github.com/egemsoft/esef-auth/tarball/master/#egg=1.0.0.0
You need
https://github.com/egemsoft/esef-auth/tarball/master/#egg=esef-auth-1.0.0.0
The --process-dependency-links
option to enable dependency_links
was removed in Pip 19.0.
Instead, you can use a PEP 508 URL to specify your dependency, which is supported since Pip 18.1. Here's an example excerpt from setup.py
:
install_requires=[
"numpy",
"package1 @ git+https://github.com/user1/package1",
"package2 @ git+https://github.com/user2/package2@branch1",
],
Note that Pip does not support installing packages with such dependencies from PyPI and in the future you will not be able to upload them to PyPI (see news entry for Pip 18.1).
Pip removed support for dependency_links a while back. The latest version of pip that supports dependency_links is 1.3.1, to install it
pip install pip==1.3.1
your dependency links should work at that point. Please note, that dependency_links were always the last resort for pip, ie. if a package with the same name exists on pypi it will be chosen over yours.
Note, https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/1955 seems to start allowing dependency_links, pip kept it, but you might need to use some command line switches to use a newer version of pip.
EDIT: As of pip 7 ... they rethought dep links and have enabled them, even though they haven't removed the deprecation notice, from the discussions they seem to be here to stay. With pip>=7 here is how you can install things
pip install -e . --process-dependency-links --allow-all-external
Or add the following to a pip.conf, e.g. /etc/pip.conf
[install]
process-dependency-links = yes
allow-all-external = yes
trusted-host =
bitbucket.org
github.com
EDIT
A trick I have learnt is to bump up the version number to something really high to make sure that pip doesn't prefer the non dependency link version (if that is something you want). From the example above, make the dependency link look like:
"https://github.com/egemsoft/django-simple-sso/tarball/master#egg=999.0.0",
Also make sure the version either looks like the example or is the date version, any other versioning will make pip think its a dev version and wont install it.
