Question

How do you pip instal package (maintained with poetry) from github? When I want people to try latest development version from github, they can’t install it in their venv using pip install git+URL because repo doesn’t have setup.py file. What’s the best solution here - should I add ./dist/* to github, manually create setupy.py or something else?

Pip 19.0 was released on 22 January 2019, and I have just successfully Pip-installed a Poetry-managed Python package from a git repository without setup.py. So I guess this issue can be closed.

@jhrmnn Can you tell he how you got this to work ?

I’m using pip 19.2.2 and I can’t seem to install my poetry project using pip

pip install -e [e-mail]:yisraeldov/gpiozero-shiftregister.git#egg=gpiozero_shiftregister

It is still trying to run setup.py

...
 FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/pi/hardware/driver/.venv/src/gpiozero-shiftregister/setup.py'

Thanks for any help
