Specify where to install ‘tests_require’ dependencies of a distribute/setuptools package

If you … Read more

Extending setuptools extension to use CMake in setup.py?

May 3, 2023 by Tarik

What you basically need to do is to override the build_ext command class in your setup.py and register it in the command classes.

One aspect is covered here https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#vcs-support (Updated link: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/vcs-support/) In particular, if setup.py is not in the root directory you have to specify the subdirectory where to find setup.py in the pip install command. So if your repository layout is: pkg_dir/ setup.py # setup.py for package pkg some_module.py other_dir/ some_file some_other_file You’ll need to use … Read more
