Unable to install command with plugin

[jaraco]

Consider the case where one might want to install tox with one or more plugins, such as tox-venv. I tried:

$ pipx install tox --spec='tox tox-venv'                                                                                                             
Invalid requirement: ''tox tox-venv''

"/Users/jaraco/.local/pipx/venvs/tox/bin/python -m pip install 'tox tox-venv' -q" failed

I find I can pass --spec=tox --spec=tox-venv and that does seem to work, but probably only because the latter spec is honored and happens to include tox in its dependencies.

I note that I can also simply pipx install tox, then subsequently ~/.local/pipx/venvs/tox/bin/pip install tox-venv, but that's not particularly friendly.

Should pipx provide another way to install a command with optional plugins?

Does this do what you want?

pipx install tox
pipx inject tox tox-venv

[jaraco]

Yes. I should RTFM. I think I only read about options to install because I was thinking about a "one-liner" use-case.

Would it make sense for install to have a --inject option that would allow install and injection in one go?

Yeah that sounds like a good idea 👍
