How to add my module to travis-ci pythonpath

Question

I\'m setting up Travis-CI for my project, and oddly, I can\'t import my project:

$ python tests/tests.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File \"tests/te         


        

Answer 1

What's the best way to make this work, so my code is added as an importable module?

The answer is unequivocally to use distutils (and definitely not ln).

In production, I just create a symlink ...

B-b-but why? The complexity to do it the Right Way™ is so low! It even fits in a few lines:

From The Fine Manual -- just create a setup.py like this:

from distutils.core import setup

setup(name='Distutils',
      version='1.0',
      description='Python Distribution Utilities',
      author='Greg Ward',
      author_email='gward@python.net',
      url='https://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/',
      packages=['distutils', 'distutils.command'],
     )

Now you can do fantastic things like python setup.py install, python setup.py bdist_rpm or pip install . -- and not just in the Travis environment but for your project in general.
