model_catalogs doesn't import from full install

[ChrisBarker-NOAA]

If I do:

pip install model_catalogs

then I can't import it:

$ python -c "import model_catalogs"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/chris.barker/miniconda3/envs/gnome_test/lib/python3.8/site-packages/model_catalogs/__init__.py", line 59, in <module>

I think there's a data file not getting installed.

It works if you use an editable install.

NOTE: I added the data files, but it won't actually work correctly.

The tests fail with: "complete" model source files are not yet available. Runmodel_catalogs.complete_source_catalog()to create this directory.

But that won't work with a proper install -- it will only work with an editable install.

Not too horrible while under active development -- but I think we need to be a bit more clear about code vs data, and where generated files with be stored.

@ChrisBarker-NOAA is this still an issue?

Looks like this is working now -- closing.

Reopening because I just noticed that the CI tests are using an editable install for the tests:

        run: |
          python -m pip install -e . --no-deps --force-reinstall

I think the tests should probably use a regular, non-editable install, to avoid similar issues arising in the future.
