pip install --target option incompitable with other options

richburdon opened this issue · 8 comments

The -t option seems to break other options used with pip install.

1). with --upgrade -r requirements.txt
Error: Destination path '...' already exists (i.e., --upgrade seems to be ignored)

2). with -e git+git@github.com:.../foo.git#egg=foo
error: option --home not recognized

Related to #1489 and #1710.

I seem to be encountering issue 2 -- when I use -t and my requirements.txt contains a -e for git, it breaks

I also encounter issue 2. Is there a workaround for this?

also have problems with issue 2. IT`s 2 years since issue :D

Closing this as one of the issues is solved, and the other issue is better explained in #4106.

For those following along from home, the #4106 issue was subsequently merged into #4390.
