requriements.txt and a module

[Mike Rochford]

I am currently working on a module that requires fabric.  I have created a setup.py file to create the module with 'python setup.py sdist'. I have been told that putting dependent modules in the setup.py file is not best practice. I have read that using a requirements.txt file is favorable. 

How do the dependent modules get install using pip? 

I have a mirror I use internally and copy the dependent modules into that repository. 

When I use pip to install the module I created how do the dependent modules get installed? 

pip install --no-index --find-links http://internalmirror/python/ custom_module

Do I have to just install them individually?

Any help would be greatful. 

Thanks,

Mike

Hello,

I saw this on StackOverflow a while back, and its made its way into most of my modules:

import os

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

from pip.req import parse_requirements

basedir = os.path.dirname(__file__)

requirements_path = os.path.join(basedir, 'requirements.txt')

# parse_requirements() returns generator of pip.req.InstallRequirement objects

install_requirements = parse_requirements(requirements_path)

# Convert to setup's list of strings format:

requirements = [str(ir.req) for ir in install_requirements]

setup(

    install_requires=requirements,

    …

)
