hello-world-python-package

Install with either:

git clone https://github.com/gdamjan/hello-world-python-package.git
cd hello-world-python-package
pip install --user .

or directly

pip install --user git+https://github.com/gdamjan/hello-world-python-package.git#egg=cool_lib

PLEASE

• don't try to play games with sys.path - that's surely wrong, and ends in tears
• the same is true for PYTHONPATH too
• use PEP-370 instead of virtualenv, it's a standard feature and not a hack around the python executable. Quickest Howto about pep-370, use pip install --user, and optionally set the PYTHONUSERBASE environment variable to choose another directory than ~/.local/.

Thanks!
