setup.py develop issues
I am having issues with using setup.py develop on my computer at work. My understanding of the command is that it should make my project import-able without really installing it, so that I can continue to change my files without needing to reinstall the project. Here is a minimum example of the problem. I create a new project (named project) with only a single package, and create the minimum setup.py file that I thought would work. mkdir project cd project mkdir project echo. > project\__init__.py echo.from setuptools import setup>setup.py echo.setup(>>setup.py echo. name='project',>>setup.py echo. packages=['project'],>>setup.py echo.^)>>setup.py cd .. After running these commands (as a batch script), I did cd project python setup.py develop but the project was not importable. I can import it when I run `python setup.py install` though. Here is the output of running python setup.py develop: C:\Users\CWP\Development\project>python setup.py develop running develop running egg_info creating project.egg-info writing top-level names to project.egg-info\top_level.txt writing project.egg-info\PKG-INFO writing dependency_links to project.egg-info\dependency_links.txt writing manifest file 'project.egg-info\SOURCES.txt' reading manifest file 'project.egg-info\SOURCES.txt' writing manifest file 'project.egg-info\SOURCES.txt' running build_ext Creating c:\python34\lib\site-packages\project.egg-link (link to .) Adding project 0.0.0 to easy-install.pth file Installed c:\users\cwp\development\project Processing dependencies for project==0.0.0 Finished processing dependencies for project==0.0.0 I'm using Python 3.4.0 and setuptools 6.0.2. I'm not sure if I'm using setuptools wrong, if my understanding of setuptools is wrong, or if this is a bug in setuptools under Windows. Cody
