Another pearl of wisdom from Ian, this time about easy_install/pip. Figured I'd pass it along.

There is an awkward way to do this, like: setup(... install_requires=['DevPackage>=0.1-r1234,==dev'], dependency_links=[' http://location/DevPackage/tip.tar.gz#egg=DevPackage-dev']) This gives the link a fake version of "dev", and says that either that fake version is okay, or an explicit (but unfindable) version that includes the revision (or might include a date or something, if you aren't using svn). It's a hack that works with easy_install and pip -- not pretty, but workable, and at the moment I don't have a better idea. -- Ian Bicking | http://blog.ianbicking.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "virtualenv" group.
