'install_requires' must be a string or list of strings

This similar to Issue:123

error in project_name_here setup command: 'install_requires' must be a string or list of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers; Invalid requirement, parse error at "'--index-'"

This error started happening when i updated my requirment.txt file to include a single dependency from my local PyPi

--index-url=http://123.123.0.123:8080/simple/ projectnamehere

This works fine for my pip installs when i do it directly. Should i be using a workaround and if should could you help me with what that might look like?

@arcivanov : That works! Thank you so much. But it’s important to know that you have to set the --process-dependency-links flag when installing the tar.gz via pip. But what do I do after this deprecated flag has been removed?

Added #egg=package-name at the end and it worked

git+https://github.com/path/to/package-name.git@v1.2.0#egg=package-name
