Now there are some things that are not so clear from the documentation, with the most important being requirement handling.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have the same requirements written down in two ways:</div><div> a) a requirements.txt file, which can be called with pip install -r requirements.txt. Yet I don't see any user downloading a requirements.txt file from somewhere, then installing it and only then afterwards getting started with actually installing the package they want to install. Who would do that?</div>
<div><br></div><div> b) requires attribute in the setup function call in setup.py. For some reason pip completely seems to ignore it. I tested the following way (come along with the code from <a href="https://github.com/DFE/MONK" target="_blank">https://github.com/DFE/MONK</a>, if you like):</div>
<div><br></div><div> $ cd MONK</div><div> $ python setup.py sdist</div><div> $ cd dist</div><div> $ tar xfvz monk_tf-v0.1.1.tar.gz</div><div> $ cd monk_tf-v0.1.1</div><div>
$ python setup.py install</div><div><div> running install</div><div> running build</div><div> running build_py</div><div> running install_lib</div><div> running install_egg_info</div><div> Writing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/monk_tf-v0.1.1.egg-info</div>
</div><div> $python</div><div> >> import monk_tf</div><div> (Exception, because a required package can't be found)</div><div><br></div><div>So this also didn't seem to install any of the required packages.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd really like to know, what I am doing wrong here. Anybody ideas or suggestions? Is there another way to tell distutils about the packages that should be installed before my package is installed?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><span><font color="#888888"><div>Erik<br></div></font></span></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>Generally requires.txt is for specific versions of dependencies and the setup.py list is more permissive.<br>
<br></div><div>Try using pip to install your sdist instead of running setup.py directly. <br></div></div><br></div></div>
