How and where to install a module in python from github

问题

i need to install a module (pyrise) from github. This is because i need to modify it and later on commit the changes and ask for a pull request.

If i install with pip i get the usual pyrise folder with the __init__.py at root level.

So i unistalled with pip and dis ( in the site-packages folder )

git clone git@github.com:nicoladj77/pyrise.git
cd pyrise
python setup.py install

this installed correctly everything, but now i have a pyrise folder under site-packages and another pyrise folder inside pyrise. And the first pyrise has an empty __init__.py and for this reason when i do

import pyrise

i can't access any object, because the proper __init__.py is inside the second pyrise folder.

What am i doing wrong?Am i installing it in the wrong dir?

回答1:

Try installing it with develop:

git clone git@github.com:nicoladj77/pyrise.git
cd pyrise
python setup.py develop
