I was told: {{{ Pip does not have a public API and because of that there is no backwards compatibility contract. It's impossible to fully parse every type of requirements.txt without a session so either parse_requirements needs to create one if it doesn't (which means if we forget to pass in a session somewhere it'll use the wrong one) or it needs one passed in. }}} >From https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/2422#issuecomment-74271718
Up to now we used parse_requirements() of pip, but in new versions you need to pass in a session. If I see changes like this: setup.py - install_requires=[str(req.req) for req in parse_requirements("requirements.txt")], + install_requires=[str(req.req) for req in parse_requirements("requirements.txt", session=uuid.uuid1())], ... I think something is wrong. I am not an expert in python packaging details. I just want it to work. What is wrong here? - You should not use parse_requirements() in setup.py - pip should not change its API. - you should not use pip at all, you should use ...?
