The following works fine:
user@host ~/test> pip install -e 'git+http://git.mydomain.com/project.git#egg=project-sdk&subdirectory=sdk/python'
But the following fails:
user@host ~/test> pip install 'git+http://git.mydomain.com/project.git#egg=project-sdk&subdirectory=sdk/python'

I want to install some packages directly from a git repo - they are not available on PyPI. Since I am not going to edit them, there is no point in using the editable mode. The problem is that the root of the git contains multiple directories, not all of which contain python code. So it doesn't make sense to have the setup.py in the root directory.
I am using pip 7.1.2.
user@host ~/test> pip --version
pip 7.1.2 from /home/user/test/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)
user@host ~/test>
So the question is - is there a way to install a package using pip from a subdirectory of a git repository in non-editable mode?
Before someone points out, this question doesn't contain the answer to how to install in non-editable mode.
