pip fails to install remote dependency when it is a .whl and follows PEP 440 · Issue #6202 · pypa/pip (original) (raw)
Environment
- pip version:
pip 18.1 - Python version:
Python 2.7.12 - OS:
Ubuntu 16.04.1 - Linux 4.15.0-42-generic
I'm using virtualenv on the version 15.2.0
Description
When following PEP 508 and PEP 440's direct references and adding a dependency to a file, say requirements.txt like this:
boto @ https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/23/10/c0b78c27298029e4454a472a1919bde20cb182dab1662cec7f2ca1dcc523/boto-2.49.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
doing a pip install -r requirements.txt gives this error.
Requirement u'boto @ git+https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/23/10/c0b78c27298029e4454a472a1919bde20cb182dab1662cec7f2ca1dcc523/boto-2.49.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist

Expected behavior
Pip should download and install the dependency.
pip install -r tests.txt

Note that including a # to the end of the URL works just fine.
How to Reproduce
