How to retrieve the information? I don't know. Where is the best place to store 
meta information for python packages?

In the first form, how would you tell pip which branch you want?​ (assuming
you don't want whatever is default)

If you have a local directory `​third-party-foo-lib` would that take
precedence over a scm checkout?

​There would need to be a way to add this extra metadata (scm url and
default branch)​ in distributions ... uh, that means changing
setuptools/distutils? That means adoption issues, people won't always have
latest and greatest.

I don't understand how this makes me ready to submit pull requests. 
Can you explain a little more?



This:

 pip install -e third-party-foo-lib

should be the same as:

 pip install -e git+https:///@mydevbranch#egg=third-party-foo-lib

And the information needed to build the URL (in above example 
git+https:///@mydevbranch)

should be provided by setup.py.

Result: you have an editable checkout.

You are right, pull requests most often need a fork first. This is far 
out of scope.


But for custom (non public) projects hosted in a corporate lan, you 
get a ready-to-push

checkout.

Is this enough explanation? Please ask if you have further question.

How is this different from 1) fork, 2) update your requirements.txt file 
pointing to the new fork? I guess -e directly
from pip install would be an ad-hoc install of a python library...


Sorry, the term "pull request" was too much. See my other reply from a second 
ago.

Please ask again, if you have further question.

[Distutils] pip install -e foo (without Repo URL)

[Thomas Güttler]

I think it would be very cool if you could install a package editable
without the repo-url.

The default repo-url can be defined in the meta-data of the package.

Background: I came across this becaus saltstack prefers the branch "develop", 
but
most other repos use the branch "master".

Yes, this is no big problem. I figured out the right repo url soon.

Next use case: you use software third-party-foo-lib in your project.
Up to now you use it as package. You find a bug and want to fix it.
Wouldn't it be great if you could just type "pip install -e third-party-foo-lib"
and now you are read to create pull requests?

What do you think?

Regards,
  Thomas Güttler
