how can I make pip/setuptools understand that my package is in ./src?
- by Giacomo Lacava
I have a library with a layout like this in Github:
README
setup.py
src/
somelibrary.py
Note: I cannot change the layout, but I can change setup.py.
I want to be able to reference this library from requirements.txt, so that people can do pip install -r requirements.txt and have it installed automagically. So I add a line like this into requirements:
-e git+http://blablabla/blabla#egg=somelibrary
This will clone the repository under ./src/somelibrary and then run setup.py develop on it, which will just add a link to ./src/somelibrary under site-packages. Unfortunately, because the library is actually under ./src/somelibrary/src, it seems like python can't see the library correctly.
What am I missing? I guess it must be a setup.py option I'm not using correctly.
