I can't find the correct way to install a local directory as a python package using pip.
(venv) C:\(...)>pip install . --no-index Ignoring indexes: http://pypi.python.org/simple/ Unpacking c:\users\fsantos\desktop\biskates.com\biskates\forks\django-pipeline Running setup.py egg_info for package from file:///(...)%5Cforks%5Cdjango-pipeline Installing collected packages: django-pipeline Running setup.py install for django-pipeline Successfully installed django-pipeline Cleaning up... (venv) C:\(...)>cd .. (venv) C:\(...)>python Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pipeline >>> pipeline.__file__ 'C:\\(...)site-packages\\pipeline\\__init__.py' >>> As you can see pip just copied over the package to site-packages. How can I avoid this, and use the package directly from its source folder?
I'm trying to integrate django-pipeline into my Django project, but I want to add support for Django 1.4 first, so I forked and cloned my fork.

Pip is a package manager of python. You can download Python libraries from some Python repositories like PyPI . You can also download libraries from a git repository.
Install the downloaded package into a local directory : python get-pip.py --user This will install pip to your local directory (. local/bin) . Now you may navigate to this directory (cd . local/bin) and then use pip or better set your $PATH variable this directory to use pip anywhere : PATH=$PATH:~/.
The Pip Package Manager can be used to list both globally and locally installed Python packages.
I can also just use:
cd your-local-repo pip install -e . or
python setup.py install develop If you're working in a venv, you can do this:
env/bin/pip install git+file:///path/to/your/git/repo Or with a branch:
env/bin/pip install git+file:///path/to/your/git/repo@mybranch If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
