What is pip's equivalent of `npm install package --save-dev`?

Question

In nodejs, I can do npm install package --save-dev to save the installed package into the package.

How do I achieve the same thing in Python package manager

Answer 1

I made a quick hack on pip to add --save option to install/uninstall commands.

Please have a look at my blog for more information about this hack: http://blog.abhiomkar.in/2015/11/12/pip-save-npm-like-behaviour-to-pip/
