How to determine the egg of a python package?

I have made a python package and want to include its installation in the requirements file.

After following the hitchhikers guide, my directory/repository looks like this:

.
├── CHANGES.txt
├── dist
│   └── Versionator-0.1.0.tar.gz
├── docs
│   └── driving_versionator.txt
├── driver_de_versionator.py
├── feedshark_learning.py
├── MANIFEST
├── MANIFEST.in
├── __pycache__
│   ├── __init__.cpython-35.pyc
│   └── versionator.cpython-35.pyc
├── README.md
├── README.txt
├── requirements.txt
├── setup.py
└── versionator
    ├── __init__.py
    └── versionator.py

4 directories, 15 files

However, a similar package is installed in this way:

git+https://[GITHUB_TOKEN]@github.com/socialcopsdev/magneton-core#egg=magneton

I am unable to determine what would be the egg here in versionator?

In pip VCS URLs egg= is not an egg name but the name of the project. pip uses it to identify the project name (or name+version) before downloading.

For your project egg should be something like egg=versionator (bare name) or egg=versionator-0.1 (name+version).

You can get name an version right from your setup.py with the commands:

python setup.py --name
python setup.py --version
