setup.py doesn't see my requirements.txt

Question

Try

pip install tornado-botocore

it says:

pip.exceptions.InstallationError: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt'

Code inside setup.py:

REQUIREMETS = [str(r.req) for r in parse_requirements('requirements.txt')]


setup(
    ...
    package_data={'': ['requirements.txt']},
    install_requires=REQUIREMETS,
)

Any thoughts on this?

Answer 1

Add requirements.txt to MANIFEST.in.
