setup.py doesn't see my requirements.txt

Question

Try

pip install tornado-botocore

it says:

pip.exceptions.InstallationError: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt'

Code inside setup.py:

REQUIREMETS = [str(r.req) for r in parse_requirements('requirements.txt')]


setup(
    ...
    package_data={'': ['requirements.txt']},
    install_requires=REQUIREMETS,
)

Any thoughts on this?

@RafaelBarros, yes, I am doing the same, but it doesn't work for me. — nanvel, Oct 11 '14 at 20:50
Can you share the folder structure? the exception is saying it can't find the `requirements.txt` file, is it on the same directory as setup.py? — Rafael Barros, Oct 11 '14 at 20:52
@RafaelBarros, yes, of course, see [tornado-botocore](https://github.com/nanvel/tornado-botocore) — nanvel, Oct 11 '14 at 20:55
@RafaelBarros, resolved by adding `include requirements.txt` into Manifest.in. — nanvel, Oct 11 '14 at 22:41

Add requirements.txt to MANIFEST.in.
