Pip installing from github installs only __init__.py file

Question

I'm trying to grasp the git(hub) way of managing software. I have a repository: https://github.com/pythonishvili/django-inguri

And I try to pip install it with this command

pip install git+git://github.com/pythonishvili/django-inguri.git

The response I get:

Downloading/unpacking git+git://github.com/pythonishvili/django-inguri.git
  Cloning git://github.com/pythonishvili/django-inguri.git to /tmp/pip-bv5r89-build
  Running setup.py egg_info for package from git+git://github.com/pythonishvili/django-inguri.git

Installing collected packages: inguri
  Running setup.py install for inguri

Successfully installed inguri
Cleaning up...

But installation went clearly wrong because all I get in my virtualenv (/home/username/.virtualenvs/envname/lib/python2.7/site-packages/inguri) are two files:

__init__.py
__init__.pyc

What did I do wrong? How do I make this work?

Answer 1

I believe you need to add all the subdirectories of your project to the packages option of your setup.py file. Right now, you have just the outermost directory - inguri. You would need to add inguri.ads, inguri.ads.migrations and so forth (as they contain .py files too which you want to include in your distribution).

You also need to add the following line in your manifest file: recursive-include inguri *
