Installing as editable form mercurial is not working

[Michele Mattioni]

Hello list,

I've tried to install Sumatra this morning from the bitbucket repo as editable with

pip install -e hg+https://bitbucket.org/apdavison/sumatra#egg=Sumatra

However this installation fails, due to the name of the main directory being src and not sumatra

The Sumatra-egg.link points to <virtualenv>/src/sumatra

although if you follow that link you have all the top directories of the sumatra package.

The code lives in the src directory, which is not python standard.

I'm proposing to rename the src to sumatra, so the package can also been used directly if installed from bitbucket or neuroensemble, and it also works if the user just download the package and just adds it to the repo.

Is there any stop holder to not do this?

Cheers,

Michele

I raised this issue in https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sumatra-users/xnCAtoI3P-8/50yPisSDUAYJ.

I didn't see a ticket for this so I filed one.

OK, I've done this. Please go ahead and try it out.

By the way, since the former Neurotools.parameters module is now on PyPI as a standalone package, I've removed the copy in "external". You will have to "pip install parameters" (although installing Sumatra should automatically install it for you).

Cheers,

Andrew

"python setup.py develop" seems to work with the change below.

diff --git a/setup.py b/setup.py

I fixed "from src.__init__" earlier today.

Can you do an "hg pull -u" and check again?
