I have one repository referencing another and need to define the relationship using a git repo requirement, see Install Python Package From Private Bitbucket Repo:

pip install git+https://USER_NAME@GIT_URL/PATH_TO_YOUR_REPO.git@branch

Now, while working on both repositories locally, I would like the referencing one to use the local copy and not from git.

Normally then you just setup the other project from the referencing project venv, which I know to ways to accomplish:

pip install -e PATH_TO_PROJECT

Which results in the following requirement, that depends on you actually commiting to the referenced project:

-e git+https://USER_NAME@GIT_URL/PATH_TO_YOUR_REPO.git@LAST_COMMIT_HASH#egg=SETUP_NAME

or the following, which is up to date with local changes:

python PATH_TO_PROJECT/setup.py install develop

How would you go about switching between requirements? What is the best approach here?

  • I don't think you can combine --editable and git+https in one requirement. Editable installs are done from local FS only, IIRC. Commented Aug 1, 2018 at 6:38

    @hoefling -e and VCS URLs can be combined, no problem, see pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#git. pip clones the repo and runs python setup.py develop in it. Commented Aug 1, 2018 at 13:11
  • @phd you are right, this just works out of the box Commented Aug 2, 2018 at 6:59
