How to pip install git repository with requirements

So I have a common library repository which looks something like:

common
    __init__.py
    foo
        __init__.py
        bar.py
README.md
requirements.txt
setup.py

In a separate project I have it in requirements.txt like this:

git+https://github.com/something/something.git#egg=common

When I do pip install it installs it to:

venv
    src
        common

The problem is, the common library has its own requirements.txt file.

How to tell pip to install requirements of the external library?

When you pip install it uses setup.py of the downloaded package to find dependencies, as opposed to running "-r requirements.txt".

Changing the setup.py of common to define dependencies is what you're after.

For an example of defining install_requires in your setup.py file, see the Hitchhiker's Guide to Packaging.

pip -r <file|url> supports eitehr a local file or a url. e.g:

pip install -r http://localhost:8080/requirements.txt

Tested and confirmed.
