File support for setuptools declarative setup.cfg

Declarative setuptools Config Requirements Files Support

This projects adds the ability for projects using setuptools declarative configuration to specify requirements using requirements files.

⚠ There's a reason why this isn't, at least yet, supported by default. Please read why.

Anyway, if you know what you're doing, then this library solves the missing feature of defining requirements using requirements files.

setup.cfg

Your setup.cfg should include a section named requirements-files like:

[requirements-files]
setup_requires = requirements/setup.txt
install_requires = requirements/base.txt
tests_require = requirements/tests.txt
extras_require =
  docs = requirements/docs.txt
  cli = requirements/cli.txt

pyproject.toml

You pyproject.toml should also include setuptools-declarative-requirements:

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=50.3.2", "wheel", "setuptools-declarative-requirements"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

setup.py

Some projects still use a setup.py shim, similar to:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import setuptools

if __name__ == "__main__":
    setuptools.setup()

If this is your case your setup.cfg needs an extra bit of tweak. Make sure you have setuptools-declarative-requirements in your setup_requires:

[options]
setup_requires =
  setuptools>=50.3.2
  setuptools-declarative-requirements

Do Note That

⚠ This project makes no attempt to validate your requirements files.

The only thing it does is include every non empty line from your requirements files which does not start with #, -r or --.
