How to install a dev. version (e.g 0.2.dev0+gebdc597 generated by for example setuptools_scm ) of a package?

I tried this

pip install my-package==0.2.*
and failed. Unfort. i can't paste the exact error, but it was something like couldn't find this version, <list of found versions>
Also, i'd like to use it later in requirements.txt/install_requires, so i need a way which works both with pip and setuptools. I hope it's the same.
Pip has a special switch --pre which allows to install even with *
$ pip install --pre pkg==0.2.*
or in requirements.txt
--pre
pkg==0.2.*
This topic is also covered in PEP 440.
