When to use pip requirements file versus install_requires in setup.py?

Question

I\'m using pip with virtualenv to package and install some Python libraries.

I\'d imagine what I\'m doing is a pretty common scenario. I\'m the maintainer on seve

Answer 1

here's what I put in my setup.py:

# this grabs the requirements from requirements.txt
REQUIREMENTS = [i.strip() for i in open("requirements.txt").readlines()]

setup(
    .....
    install_requires=REQUIREMENTS
)
