Use wildcard in tox command

For various reasons, I need to do pip install as a command in my tox.ini (I do skipsdist=True

, so the current won't install my dependencies for me, but I still need some of them installed in the virtual environment).

The problem is that I have a local dependency stored as a tarball that has a version of it in the filename eg my-module-1.0.tar.gz

. So I need to use a wildcard in my command like

pip install my-module-*.tar.gz

but the current doesn't seem to support bash semantics in that sense as I get the error

Requirement 'my-module-*.tar.gz' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist

I've tried putting quotes around the filename and also avoiding the asterisk with no success.

Any ideas?

I'm not a venomous user, but it looks like no shell is used to execute commands. You can try to explicitly invoke the shell, for example:



/bin/bash -c 'pip install my-module-*.tar.gz'
