Installed module is empty

问题

I'm tring to use setuptools for python3 code. My project structure:

./testSetup/
./testSetup/testSetup
./testSetup/testSetup/foo.py
./testSetup/Setup.py

./testSetup/testSetup/foo.py content:

def say_foo():
    print('foo')

./testSetup/Setup.py content:

from setuptools import setup, find_packages
import testSetup

setup(
    name='testSetup',
    version='0.0.1',
    packages=find_packages(),
    author='Bastien Sevajol',
    author_email="testSetup@bux.fr",
    description='test',
    long_description='test test',
    include_package_data=False,
    url='http://bux.fr',
    # https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=list_classifiers.
    classifiers=[
        "Programming Language :: Python",
    ]
)

When i python Setup.py install (with python3.4) in a virtual env:

python Setup.py install

I can see a warning saying install_lib: 'build/lib' does not exist -- no Python modules to install.

If i try to use my module:

python               
Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:18) 
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from testSetup import foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'foo'
>>> import testSetup
>>> dir(testSetup)
['__doc__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__']

What's wrong in my Setup.py ?

回答1:

You need to have an __init__.py file in your TestSetup/ directory (the file can be blank). Otherwise, nothing in that directory will be importable and find_packages() will never find it. You might want to read about it.

./testSetup/
./testSetup/testSetup
./testSetup/testSetup/__init__.py
./testSetup/testSetup/foo.py
./testSetup/setup.py

Also note that setup.py should be all lowercase. While naming it Septup.py won't stop the script from working, it is not convention and may not be discovered by various tools.

回答2:

It is because of setuptools.find_packages, when calling it without any parameters it looks for packages in the source tree from the location of setup.py. In your case you don't have any folder at the root level.

The issue does not come from your setup.py file but from the way you've organized your project, by moving your sources around like so:

testSetup
|--setup.py
|--/testSetup/foo.py
|--/testSetup/__init__.py

then you can successfully pip setup.py install when cd-ing inside testSetup.
