I’m trying to install django-nonrel the correct way – and to be able to reproduce the process.

I’ve installed django-nonrel using pip – as following:

pip install git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django-nonrel.git
pip install git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django-dbindexer.git
pip install git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django-permission-backend-nonrel
pip install hg+https://bitbucket.org/wkornewald/djangoappengine
pip install hg+https://bitbucket.org/wkornewald/djangotoolbox
pip install hg+https://bitbucket.org/twanschik/django-autoload
pip install hg+https://bitbucket.org/twanschik/nonrel-search/src

After installation, I got this req.txt file (pip freeze > req.txt):

Django==1.3.1
django-autoload==0.01
django-dbindexer==0.3
djangoappengine==1.0
djangotoolbox==0.9.2
nonrel-search==0.1
permission-backend-nonrel==0.1
wsgiref==0.1.2

But I can’t use my req.txt file to get the same stuff.
If I uninstall a package (e.g. django-autoload) and try to get it again using the requirements file

(gae-first)bentzy@lama:~/.virtualenvs/gae-first$ pip uninstall django-autoload
Uninstalling django-autoload:
...
Successfully uninstalled django-autoload
(gae-first)bentzy@lama:~/.virtualenvs/gae-first$ pip install -r req.txt 
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): Django==1.3.1       in ./lib/python2.7/site-packages (from -r req.txt (line 1))
Downloading/unpacking django-autoload==0.01 (from -r req.txt (line 2))
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement django-autoload==0.01 (from -r req.txt (line 2))
No distributions at all found for django-autoload==0.01 (from -r req.txt (line 2))
Storing complete log in /home/bentzy/.pip/pip.log

Why aren’t those packages at pip repository?

It still make sense to use pip to install them?

    The problem is that your requirements file does not have enough information.

    What pip is going to do when you request it to install django-autoload, for instance, is look at PyPI for that package (and scrap some pages after finding the PyPI entry).

    If you want to have a requirements file that downloads those packages the same way you did while installing one by one, do the same: tell pip where to find packages.

    Create a requirements file like:

    git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django-nonrel.git
git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django-dbindexer.git
git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django-permission-backend-nonrel
hg+https://bitbucket.org/wkornewald/djangoappengine
hg+https://bitbucket.org/wkornewald/djangotoolbox
hg+https://bitbucket.org/twanschik/django-autoload
hg+https://bitbucket.org/twanschik/nonrel-search/src

    Or if you want to install from specific tag or commit, do:

    git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django-nonrel.git@1.3.1#egg=Django
