setup.py install_require with options

问题

I need to add rjsmin to my dependencies via install_require in a setup.py.

rjsmin offers a way to disable the c-extension by using the --without-c-extensions switch like following

python setup.py install --without-c-extensions

I wonder, how to add this switch to the install_require string.

回答1:

You need to provide an --install-option or --global-option along with the requirement text.

You can refer the doc here

I solved my problem of installing dependencies with global-options by sub-classing setuptools.command.install class and overriding its run() method, like following code -

from setuptools import setup
from setuptools.command.install import install
from subprocess import call


class CustomInstall(install):
    def run(self):
        install.run(self)
        call(['pip', 'install', 'pycurl', '--global-option=--with-nss'])

setup( ...
      cmdclass={
          'install': CustomInstall,
      },
)

Here, I am installing pycurl with global option --with-nss
