Pip Processor

Purpose

Installs Python dependencies from requirements.txt files using pip.

How It Works

Discovers requirements.txt files in the project and runs pip install -r in each file’s directory. After a successful install it writes a deterministic install stamp, out/processor.mass_generator.pip/root.stamp for a root requirements.txt (or <dir>.stamp with / turned into _ otherwise), so dependencies are only reinstalled when requirements.txt (or a dep_inputs file) changes.

Source Files

• Input: **/requirements.txt
• Output: the install stamp out/processor.mass_generator.pip/<dir>.stamp

Configuration

[processor.mass_generator.pip]
command = "pip"                        # The pip command to run
args = []                              # Additional arguments to pass to pip
dep_inputs = []                        # Additional files that trigger rebuilds when changed

Batch support

Runs once per requirements.txt when its install stamp product is dirty.

Clean behavior

This processor is a Mass Generator — rsconstruct clean outputs removes each planned install stamp (product.outputs) and sweeps any parent directories that become empty. See Clean behavior and rsconstruct clean.
