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

This is certainly not optimal, but it worked. In my .travis.yml file, I added the following line to the install attribute:

 - ln -s `pwd` $(dirname `which python`)/../lib/python2.7/site-packages/my_module

This basically finds the directory where Python is installed and then adds my_module as a symlink in there. Happy to hear a better answer, cause this one feels super fragile.
