Support http/https nested requirements #18

Open sbidoul opened 1 year ago

sbidoul commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Thanks for this lib, it is very useful !

I was trying to use it in pip-deepfreeze as a replacement of my own copy of the pip parser (https://github.com/sbidoul/pip-deepfreeze/pull/107), when I realized it only supports nested requirements that are local files. pip does support http and https URLs as nested requirements files.

Would you consider this in scope?

It could be implemented with an optional fetch function to be provided by the user and called when nested requirements are http or https. This way, this project would not need to depend on an http client library nor worry about all the subtleties involved with URL fetching such as authentication, etc.

Hi there, gentle nudge on this one. I'm happy to prepare a PR if you consider this in scope.
