pip install from git repo branch/commit with submodules

Question

Similar to: pip install from git repo branch

While you can install from a git repo branch/commit with the following syntax:

pip install git+https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar-paypal.git@issue/34/oscar-0.6

how does one specify pip to clone with submodules (--recursive)?

Answer 1

AFAIK this is not possible and will not be implemented, even installation of packaging from git is not a fully supported instllation mechanism.

Shortly, clone it yourself, build the wheels, install the wheels.
