No. If so, will it rip a requirements file in the root of repo.git? No. If so, what file name should that have? You can choose any name you like. I think I have to explain a bit more. The requirement file is basically a list of *all installed distributions* in a Python environment and is usually created by 'pip freeze'. It is merely a way to tell pip later which distributions it should try to install. The basic way of working with requirement files if this: 1. Create virtual environment [1] 2. Install *your* package and all of its dependencies within the virtual environment 3. Run 'pip freeze' to get the list of installed distributions and write it to a file. This file is the requirement file. 4. Give the requirement file to someone else 5. Create a virtual environment 6. Run 'pip install -r requirement_file.txt' to install all distributions 'frozen' in the requirements file 7. PROFIT!!! A requirements file is not really meant to state the dependencies of a single distribution, but rather describe the complete state an environment is in *so it can be reconstructed later* exactly like is has been before. This is quite important if you want to deploy application and you want to make sure that only tested versions of you dependency get installed. I think of it rather in the terms of: pip freeze -- dpkg --get-selections pip install -r r.txt-- dpkg --set-selections aptitude install AFAIK you can also host the distribution on another site than pypi, but I am not sure how to tell pip to check there for distributions as well. You might want to ask this on the virtualenv list. -- .''`.

What happens when a user types..? sudo pip install repo Hey Phlip, If you run pip install repo, it will try to find a package in http://pypi.python.org/ named repo. Run the following commands: $ pip install pastescript $ paster create myapp $ cd myapp/ $ python setup.py sdist register upload That's all you need to do .. to have your myapp project uploaded to PyPI. From now onwards, anyone connected to the internet will be able to run pip install myapp to get your package. For more details, may I suggest you to read the official distutils tutorial: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Distutils/Tutorial -srid PS: Another advantage of using distutils (or setuptools/distribute) and uploading your package to PyPI is that you would automatically enable other package managers (such as PyPM - http://pypm.activestate.com/ ) to support your package. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

When I Google for how to create a pip package I don't hit anything. Of course that info is out there; I can't seem to pick up the trail of breadcrumbs to it. As has already been noted in this thread you do not create a file specifically for pip, but rather use the standard (or soon to be) way of distributing Python distributions outlined in: http://docs.python.org/library/distutils.html#module-distutils http://packages.python.org/distribute/ If you do not plan to host your file on pypi you can easily create a pip requirements file that references a VCS of your choice. Read how to do this in the pip documentation on editable packages: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip/ kind regards Wolodja signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Do what the distutils page says, setuptools tries to extend distutils with many fancy things but if you don't need those (and that's what it sounds like) then sticking to distutils is better as you only require the python stdlib.

I don't quite understand, but would say: both ;-) You can't tell pip to pull from arbitrary git repositories, but only from those that contain the packaging code as outlined in the distutils documentation. These git repositories do *not* have to be hosted on pypi. You should however be able to do the following: $ git clone git://example.com/repo.git $ cd repo $ python setup.py install The pip requirement file would contain the following line: -e git+git://example.com/repo.git#egg=rep I hope this answers your questions :-D -- .''`.
