I'm looking for a method to use pip or similiar to install a list of python packages to a custom target directory (ex./mypath/python/pkgs/ ), but also exclude/blacklist specific dependencies. I want to exclude specific dependencies since they are already met from a different install path (e.g. an anaconda install). I don't have the privilege of adding packages to the default python installation (nor do I want to). I'm currently use the -r and -t options of pip. But have not found a way to exclude specific packages. A pip command like this is would be ideal: pip install --log pip.log -r req.txt -t /mypath/pypkgs/ --exclude exclude.txt --no-deps is not an option since I need some of the dependencies. I'm currently pursuing a python script to do pip installs that include dependencies I don't need via: pip install --log pip.log -r req.txt -t /mypath/python/pkgs/ and then (automatically) remove the unneeded dependencies after the pip install finishes. I hoping some combination of pip commands can achieve what I'm looking for some straightforward away. I'm using pip 7.1.2. Thanks! Similar, yet I'm not upgrading and want to specify a target path: pip: upgrade package without upgrading particular dependency Continue reading...
