I am trying to build a module that will be shared among more than one Python application in a project.
I have a folder with a pyproject.toml with the following content.
[project]
name = "data_audit_shared"
version = "0.0.1"
authors = [
{ name="Josh Russo", email="[email protected]" },
]
description = "Shared code for data audit"
requires-python = ">=3.8"
classifiers = [
"Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
"License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
"Operating System :: OS Independent",
]
When I try to reference data_audit_shared I get the message No module named 'data_audit_shared'.
My dependency in my project is -e ../../data_audit_shared and it installs properly.
This is what my venv site-packages looks like.
How do I update module or the reference to be able to use this module?
Edit - Tried removing -e
So when I remove -e I get the module listed in the installed modules. Is there something I am missing to be able to properly install and reference my module with -e?
Edit - Relative paths
I'm assuming that this is because I'm trying to reference a package outside of my project folder root. The strange part in my mind is that you can use this syntax with a Git repo. Why would it not behave similarly?
