Can't seem to get tox to print pip installation progress

[nilansaha]

I want tox to show progress while its installing packages from the requirements in a setup.py file which it does not show. Any help is appreciated.

Example

tox.ini

[tox]
envlist = py38

deps = 
    pytest

commands =
   pytest

setup.py

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

with open("requirements.txt") as f:
    requirements = f.readlines()

setup(
    name="sample_project",
    version="0.0.1.dev0",
    include_package_data=True,
    packages=find_packages(),
    install_requires=requirements,
)

requirements.txt

requests==2.26.0
uvicorn==0.14.0

In this case tox won't show the pip output while its installing requests and uvicorn so its difficult to keep track of progress when there is a lot of dependencies in the setup

tox -vv should do the trick.

Reading requirements.txt in a setup.py is rather unusual.

The former is used to install packages, where you usually pin all dependencies, even to a minor version number.

The latter is used to install libraries, where you only list the direct dependencies, and where you do not pin them, but only exclude known incompatible versions.

Sometimes, still both are used, but then again, in setup.py are only the direct dependencies with no exact pin, and you use eg pip-tools to generate the requirements.txt.
