Add repository url to install_requires in project's setup.py

Question

I'm developing a django app which depends on an app in a private bitbucket repository, for example ssh:/[email protected]/username/my-django-app. is it possible to add this url to the list of install_requires in my setup.py? tried various possibilities, but none worked.

Answer 1

I don't know if you can do this with setuptools, but it's possible with distribute (wich can be consider as the new setuptools). Check Dependencies that aren’t in PyPI sections in distribute documentation.
