Given two packages foo and bar, bar depends on foo.
The foo/pyproject.toml:
[project]
name = "foo"
dependencies = []
version = "0.0.1"
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
The bar/pyproject.toml:
[project]
name = "bar"
dependencies = ["foo"]
version = "0.0.1"
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
First, install foo as editable:
Then uv will fail to install bar:
uv pip install -e ./bar
Built file:///home/test/uv/depends_on_dev/bar Built 1 editable in 996ms
× No solution found when resolving dependencies:
╰─▶ Because there are no versions of foo and bar==0.0.1 depends on foo, we can conclude that bar==0.0.1 cannot be used.
And because you require bar==0.0.1, we can conclude that the requirements are unsatisfiable.Pip can install bar in this case:
pip install -e ./bar
