如何将个人SCM存储库（不是pypi）中的项目包含到setup.py中？

Question

What's the idiomatic way to build python projects that depend on projects in other source control repositories (eg private projects not on pypi)?

Let's say I have a project foobar hosted at https://example.com/foobar.git and I want to include it in the setup.py of another project.

Is there something similar to maven's scm plugin, where I can specify something like Extension('foobar', scm='scm:git:https://example.com/foobar.git')

You can specify additional places to install dependencies from using the dependency_links option:

setup(
    ...
    dependency_links=[
        'git+https://example.com/spamneggs/foobar.git#egg=foobar-1.2.3'
    ]
    install_requires=[
        'foobar',
    ]
)

The dependency_links entry is used to find packages, and for SCM-stored packages the #egg=package-version fragment identifier lets tools know what package and what version will be found at that link.

See the "Dependencies that aren't in PyPI" chapter of the setuptools project documentation.
