ERROR: You must give at least one requirement to install (maybe you meant "pip install /home/ubuntu/inkscape/parts/python-deps/python-packages"?)
Failed to run '/home/ubuntu/inkscape/stage/usr/bin/python2 -m pip install --user --no-compile --no-index --find-links /home/ubuntu/inkscape/parts/python-deps/python-packages --upgrade --no-deps': Exited with code 1.

Encountered this kind of error several times with snaps that use python plugin :-/

Re-build after cleaning the parts’ pull step works, but it’s annoying.

I encountered the same problem when trying to build Lutris. It’s pretty inconvenient. I think someone said to separate out the part with the python install requires from the part that needs to be rebuilt, but it’s not a great workaround.

Corresponding source code:

Can anyone that speaks Python look into it?
