rosdep unable to determine installation of pip packages with extras or versions #900

I don't yet have a fix for this but just wanted to document the findings. When specifying Python packages to be installed by pip that include either a specific version (e.g. package==1.0.0) or with extras (e.g. package[extra]), pip is able to install the packages correctly but rosdep is unable to confirm installation of the packages. More complete example:

Snippet of custom YAML file:

python3-mycroft-plugin-tts-mimic3-pip:
  debian:
    pip:
      packages: ["mycroft-plugin-tts-mimic3[all]"]
  ubuntu:
    pip:
      packages: ["mycroft-plugin-tts-mimic3[all]"]
...
python3-pyee8-pip:
  debian:
    pip:
      packages: ["pyee==8.1.0"]
  ubuntu:
    pip:
      packages: ["pyee==8.1.0"]

Output of rosdep when installing these dependencies:

Bumped into this too. I think there is yet another issue that can be tracked under this ticket: rosdep fails to detect successful installation of pip packages specified as VCS links, at least the error message at the end of installation is the same.

Current workaround is to install Python dependencies with the source rosdep package manager, i.e., using shell / Python scripts.
