pip freeze captures the package name as if it was on python index site, but it is not. full path is needed

I installed a package from git hub:

pip install -e git+http://github.com/un33k/django-uuslug.git#egg=django-uuslug

Then I did:

pip freeze > req.txt

I get:

开发者_如何学JAVA

django-uuslug==0.1

Now if I do a pip install -r req.txt, I get a package not found error, which due to the fact that django-uuslug is not on pypi.

Why is freeze not remembering the full path as it was given during the install?

I had the same issue. I believe it's a problem whenever the packages are in a subdirectory(e.g. src). Here's the patch that fixed it for me.

I fixed it, don't know how, but I had to change the setup.py

pip install -e git+http://github.com/un33k/django-uuslug.git#egg=django-uuslug

If you find similar issue, and find yourself on this question, just look at the setup.py in the above package. Perhaps you can tell me how I fixed it. I just moved things around a bit.
