[16:36:33] <giann> is there a way to install only a module dependencies with pip somehow?

[21:45:03] <giann> apologies if someone answered (got disconnected)

[21:45:20] <giann> is there a way to get pip to install only the module dependencies (and not the package itself)?

[21:57:42] <nedbat> giann: i don't know a way to do that. why do you want to?

[21:57:55] <nedbat> giann: this might do it: pip install the_package; pip uninstall the_package

[21:58:51] <giann> nedbat: I've downloaded a new module and want to start developing on it, so I need all of its dependencies but I don't want to install the actual module

[21:59:20] <giann> because I'll want to use my local version of the module

[21:59:42] <nedbat> giann: i guess uninstall and then install -e

[22:02:51] <giann> nedbat: so install -e if I'm reading it correctly will install in develop mode without installing the actual module?

[22:11:26] <nedbat> giann: it installs it so that your working tree is the installed code

[22:12:27] <nedbat> giann: btw, usually, packages have different instructions for how developers should get the requirements, like: pip install -r requirements.txt
