I'm relatively new to Python and thought that I had a basic understanding of pip install, but I'm stumped with the following:

$ pip install ".[full]" 

I've only seen pip install ".[full]" on a couple of occasions, and I'm not sure what this command actually does. The pattern I've seen is that I clone a git repo, I change directories to that project root, and run pip install ".[full]" in my activated virtual environment of choice (I'm using conda). I'm guessing it looks for something in the project, but the terminal output doesn't say exactly what file/directory it is reading. Is this reading the ./build directory, or maybe the ./src directory, or some config file?

setup.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import subprocess
import sys

# Required third-party imports, must be specified in pyproject.toml.
import packaging.version
import setuptools

  • It'd be better if you could link to a specific example where this is used. Run it outside of a project, and it says `Directory '.[full]' is not installable. Neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.`, which answers your question – OneCricketeer Jan 12 '22 at 22:42

    `[...]` installs extras, and `.` is the current directory. – Mad Physicist Jan 12 '22 at 22:49

From your current folder ., there is probably a file setup.py. In this file you have some extra options. One of them is full that probably contains the full dependencies for the current package.

So the command, try to install the package in the current folder and all its dependencies. full is just a convenient name, it doesn't mean nothing special for pip (or setup.py)

A better explanation is given here

  • Accepted the answer since it taught me somthing about pip. However, I didn't see "full" in the setup.py. I updated the question to show the code – Goku Jan 13 '22 at 14:54
  • What is the package you want to install? – Corralien Jan 13 '22 at 15:06
  • At a high leve, I want to collect benchmarks by running this file located at ./benchmarks/benchmarks.py And the readme says to follow these directions here https://github.com/qutip/qutip-tensorflow#benchmarks This mostly works as expected, but I do not understand what pip is actually doing here – Goku Jan 13 '22 at 15:31
  • Take a look to [`setup.cfg`](https://github.com/qutip/qutip-tensorflow/blob/74057b452608b2b6b2cd434bf7664286f18b5f57/setup.cfg#L47-L49) used by `setup.py` for install all depencies for targets `tests` and `benchmarks`. – Corralien Jan 13 '22 at 16:22
