|PyPI|
Ever did a mistake to pip install
in the terminal when installing
packages from requirements.txt
file like following?
::
$ pip install requirements.txt
Collecting requirements.txt
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement requirements.txt (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for requirements.txt
Now you wont. Thanks to some nasty hacks and tricks there is a package
on PyPI that handles that. It finds the desired requirements file and
installs it in your current environment.
::
echo "gevent" > requirements-dev.txt
pip install requirements-dev.txt
This package was made only for trolling so do not expect it to work. It
may work on Linux and Mac OS X but was not extensively tested. It is
also a one-shot trick so no updates will be installed once you do that
unless you specify a -U
or --update
switch. Happy debugging!
PyPI (fortunately) does not allow to upload package named
requirements.txt
so the only supported name is currently a
requirements-dev.txt
. It still should be quite popular though.
