Pip installs but module is not found
pip, python, virtualenv
Solution
The flag `-e` means "editable", and what happens behind the scenes is a symlink, and as I see, `Exscript` uses a directory named `src`, what is not seen a good practice[1].
So, in order to solve your problem, you have two alternatives:
- Remove `-e` flag
- Change Exscript to get rid of `src`, and use another directory name
Take a look at https://the-hitchhikers-guide-to-packaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/creation.html#arranging-your-file-and-directory-structure and https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userguide/development_mode.html.
[1]: the good practice is to have the directory as the same name as used when importing the package
Problem
I am trying to install Exscript from github. ``` pip install -e 'git+git://github.com/knipknap/exscript.git#egg=Exscript' ... Successfully installed Exscript Cleaning up.. ``` When i try to load it, python is not able to find it: ``` python2.7 -c "import Exscript" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named Exscript ``` But, when i try to install it in the same virtualenv with setup.py it installs and loads successfully. What am i doing wrong?
