Install package with pip

-------------------------------------------------

|
For development, we recommend to use virtualenv_ environments and pip_
|
||||||
|
for installing your application and any dependencies
|
||||||
|
as well as the ``pytest`` package itself. This ensures your code and
|
||||||
|
dependencies are isolated from the system Python installation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First you need to place a ``setup.py`` file in the root of your package with the following minimum content:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
setup(name="PACKAGENAME", packages=find_packages())
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Where ``PACKAGENAME`` is the name of your package. You can then install your package in "editable" mode by running from the same directory::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pip install -e .
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
which lets you change your source code (both tests and application) and rerun tests at will.
|
||||||
|
This is similar to running ``python setup.py develop`` or ``conda develop`` in that it installs
|
||||||
|
your package using a symlink to your development code.
