Setup.py is the build script for setuptools. It tells setuptools about your package details such as the name, version, and dependencies.
When we install a local .py package with a local setup.py file, it does not reach the ".pypirc" configurations. Therefore instead of using Artifactory default "Set Me Up" we need to add a 'dependency_links' parameter to the setup.py file to be able to resolve dependencies from Artifactory -
dependency_links=['http://<ARTIFACTORY IP>:8082/api/pypi/pypi/simple']
If anonymous access is not permitted to the Artifactory instance/repository please inject the credentials with the below method -
dependency_links=['http://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<ARTIFACTORY IP>:8082/api/pypi/pypi/simple']
The example below uses the setup.py file taken from our Github python-example
