Installation using pip 19.3.1 using git+ fails

[jayvdb]

./bin/pip install 'git+https://github.com/dephell/dephell works, but the same doesnt work here 'git+https://github.com/dephell/dephell_archive' because it doesnt have a setup.py/.cfg/etc. I appreciate that you likely dont want to create these files for all repos, but maybe there is a workaround, or possibly a new dephell tool?.

./bin/pip install 'git+https://github.com/dephell/dephell_archive'

lib/python3.7/site-packages/UNKNOWN-0.0.0.dist-info/top_level.txt is empty, so nothing was installed.

Likely there is an upstream issue in pip project about it, worth finding and tracking.

[jayvdb]

I will have an update for this in a few days.
(related to dephell/dephell_specifier#13, dephell/dephell_pythons#8 and dephell/dephell_shells#3)

[orsinium]

I'm going to make PEP-518 interface for DepHell, it will solve such cases

[jayvdb]

@orsinium , any progress with the PEP-518 interface? Is it an existing issue/PR for that?

I guess this could be solved by adding adding a poetry PEP-517 handler into pyproject.toml for each @dephell project, like

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry>=0.12"]
build-backend = "poetry.masonry.api"

fwiw, I have built https://github.com/jayvdb/pypidb to make it possible to generically build tools that bridge the gap between PyPI name and SCM.
