Yeah, we have to wait until PyMC3 cuts a release for the new Theano-PyMC dependency.

Have you tried using the dependency_links keyword argument to setup()? Doc. You can specify the address to the tarball and add the package's name and version in install_requires.

Have not - will see if we can just pin to master branch .tar.gz that Github automatically creates.

[brandonwillard]

Ah, yeah, this implies that it's possible, as well.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like dependency_links will work as expected; at some point, pip apparently shuts it down (see pypa/pip#6162 and pypa/pip#5898).
