install local package into virtualenv using setuptools - python

I have a virtualenv with multiple little projects in it. Consider that they are all equal, so my folder structure looks something like this:
categorisation_ml/
categorisation.py
setup.py
__init__.py
nlp/
nlp.py
setup.py
__init__.py
etc/
__init__.py
I want to install both packages into the same virtualenv so that they are both accessible everywhere within the virtualenv.
Using this and this guide, I have created a setup.py script like this (for categorisation in this case):
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name = "categorisation",
version = "1.0",
scripts = ['categorisation.py']
)
then, I run python setup.py install , which seems to complete successfully.
When I cd into nlp/, enter python command line and try
import categorisation, I get:
ImportError: No module named categorisation.
What am I missing?

It seems that the package structure and setup.py is off. It should be something like this:
irrelevant_package_name/
__init__.py
setup.py
categorisation_ml/
categorisation.py
__init__.py
nlp/
nlp.py
__init__.py
and then the install script looking like this:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name='package_name',
version='1.0.0',
description='This is a working setup.py',
url='http://somesite.com',
author='Roman',
author_email='roman#somesite.com',
packages=find_packages(),
install_requires=[
'numpy',
],
zip_safe=False
)
Then install it like this:
python setup.py install #(just installs it as is)
python setup.py develop #(Keeps track of changes for development)
If you pip freeze this should come up
package_name==1.0.0
And then in python imports should look like this:
from categorisation_ml import categorisation
from nlp import nlp

setup.py runs but I get a "ModuleNotFoundError" when trying to import my package

I have a setup.py file. I run it using pip install -e .. The logging suggest my package is successfully installed. But when I run python -c "from mypackage import test_script" I get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mypackage'.
My setup.py file looks like:
from setuptools import find_packages, setup
setup(
name="mypackage",
packages=find_package(include=["src", "src.*"]),
version="0.0.1",
description="my pakage",
author="me",
)
My package folder looks like:
src
mypackage
__init__.py
test_script.py
python -c "from src.mypackage import test_script" does work, but I don't want my package name to be preceeded with "src".
Any ideas what is going wrong?

Not able to import custom package

what I am doing.
I am building a python package.
file hirarchy of the package is as following.
package/
library1/
__init__.py
module1.py
module2 py
setup.py
LICENCE
README.md
due to some reason I need to import module2 in module1
I have described packages in setup.py as follows.
setup(
name = "package",
packages = [ "library1", "library2"])
once I have built the package I installed it to my device.
I tried to import package
but I received an error no module named package
You can install your package w/o building it first:
pip install package --editable
It stays where it is and you can continue editing/debugging.
Your package is added to the Python sys.path, so Python looks inside package for imports but can't import package itself.
You import module2 via
import library1.module2
This is an absolute import, so it works from everywhere.

ModuleNotFoundError using setup.py

I use python click package and setuptools to create a simple command line.
And I work in a pipenv virtualenv.
My working directory is like this:
jkt/scripts/app.py
And my setup.py is like this:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name='jkt',
version='0.1',
packages=find_packages(),
include_package_data=True,
entry_points='''
[console_scripts]
jktool=jkt.scripts.app:my_function
''',
)
Then I run the command
pip install --editable .
And run jktool to execute my_function but I get the error:
ModuleNotFoundError No module named 'jkt'.
But when the app.py in jkt directory I can run my function
setup(
name='app',
version='0.1',
py_modules=['app'],
entry_points='''
[console_scripts]
app=app:jktools
''',
)
After I run pip install -e . I can use app command to run my function.
As I mentioned, I can't reproduce your error (Python 3.7 with modern pip seems to work just fine), but there are a couple things that could potentially be going wrong on older versions.
Since it doesn't look like you put __init__.py files in your subdirectories, find_packages doesn't actually find any packages at all (python3 -c 'from setuptools import find_packages; print(find_packages()) prints the empty list, []). You can fix this in one of three ways:
Create empty __init__.py files to explicitly mark those folders as package folders; on a UNIX-like system, touch jkt/__init__.py and touch jkt/scripts/__init__.py is enough to create them
Python 3.3+ only: (also requires modern setuptools so pip install --upgrade setuptools might be necessary) Replace your use of find_packages with find_namespace_packages (which recognizes Python 3 era implicit namespace packages).
Just get rid of find_packages entirely and list the packages directly, e.g. replace packages=find_packages(), with packages=['jkt', 'jkt.scripts'],
Options #2 only works on Python 3.3+, so if your package is intended to work on older versions of Python, go with option #1 or #3.

Call another setup.py in setup.py

My repository contains my own python module and a submodule to one of its dependencies which has its own setup.py.
I'd like to call the dependency's setupy.py when installing my own lib, how is it possible?
My first attempt:
$ tree
.
├── dependency
│ └── setup.py
└── mylib
└── setup.py
$ cat mylib/setup.py
from setuptools import setup
setup(
name='mylib',
install_requires= ["../dependency"]
# ...
)
$ cd mylib && python setup.py install
error in arbalet_core setup command: 'install_requires' must be a string or list of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers; Invalid requirement, parse error at "'../depen'"
However install_requires does not accept paths.
My second attempt was to use dependency_links=["../dependency"] with install_requires=["dependency"] however a dependency of the same name already exists in Pypi so setuptools tries to use that version instead of mine.
What's the correct/cleanest way?
A possible solution is to run a custom command before/after the install process.
An example:
from setuptools import setup
from setuptools.command.install import install
import subprocess
class InstallLocalPackage(install):
def run(self):
install.run(self)
subprocess.call(
"python path_to/local_pkg/setup.py install", shell=True
)
setup(
...,
cmdclass={ 'install': InstallLocalPackage }
)

Script installed with setup.py raises ImportError

I am trying to add a runnable script for my project with setup.py. I added it to the scripts= argument of setup. The script works fine when I run it from the project, ./solver. I install it with sudo python setup.py install, and try to run it with solver, but I get ImportError: No module named 'model'. How do I correctly install and run my script with setuptools?
SOLVER/
solver/
model/
__init__.py
view/
__init__.py
controller/
__init__.py
__init__.py
main.py
solver <-- starts the app
setup.py
README.md
LICENCE
setup.py:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name='SOLVER',
version='1.0.0',
description='SOLVER app test',
author=['me'],
license='BSD',
classifiers=['Programming Language :: Python :: 3 :: Only'],
packages=['solver'],
#packages=find_packages(exclude=["doc", "tests"]),
install_requires=['numpy>=1.10.4'],
scripts=['solver/solver'],
)
solver:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from solver import main
main.gui_mode()
You need to list all the packages, including the sub-packages, in the packages argument. You can use find_packages to generate that list for you. Currently, you're just installing the Python files in the solver/ directory.
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
...
packages=find_packages(),
...
)
You should also use entry_points rather than scripts, especially when all your script does is import and call one function. Setuptools will build scripts from the entry points that use the correct Python binary for the env they were installed in.
setup(
...
packages=find_packages(),
entry_points={
'console_scripts': [
'solver=solver.main:gui_mode'
]
...
}
You can install your package in development mode to get your script, rather than writing it yourself.
pip install -e .
You should use pip to install to the system as well. It keeps track of what was installed so you can uninstall it later.
pip install .
