pip install from custom whl file in Dockerfile

Question

I have a Dockerfile which is trying to install a whl file which is located in my project using pip. I want to force pip to include my whl file in its searches, but it doesn't:

No distributions matching the version for mylibname==mylibversion

I tried using build_ext with options -L:

pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-L/directory/containing/whl/file/"

-I:

pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/directory/containing/whl/file/"

and -b:

pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-b/directory/containing/whl/file/"

But none of them worked.

EDIT 1:

This is my Dockerfile:

FROM python:2.7.9 MAINTAINER Zeinab Abbasimazar ADD myprojectdir . RUN ls -la ${HOME}/myprojectdir/dependency RUN pip --version RUN pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-L${HOME}/myprojectdir/dependency" mypackagename-mypackageversion WORKDIR . CMD python --version

This is the output of docker build -t myimagename .:

EDIT2:

The pip install /path/to/the/whl/file.whl completely works; but it's not what I want.

Can you try pip install --no-index --find-links=${HOME}/myprojectdir/dependency mypackagename-mypackageversion ? — Tarun Lalwani

Install all wheels without listing them explicitly:

pip install /path/to/*.whl

A caveat that the OP didn't require is the ability to install extras. This solution will not work if you need something like pip install pkg.whl[dev].

@Keto In what way it doesn't work? Extras are just additional packages, if they're included in *.whl they will be installed; installation order is not important.

It's been a while, but I believe I meant if you want to "Install all wheels without listing them explicitly" and at the same time set extras on certain packages. You cannot glob *.whl.
