Installing PyUtilib with pip using the --prefix option does not work #39

Open smoors opened 6 years ago

Installing with this command (Python 2.7): pip install --prefix=<custom path> PyUtilib looks like it works, with no errors reported.

However, importing the modules in python fails due to some __init__.py files missing, including pyutilib/__init__.py and pyutilib/component/__init__.py.

This issue seems to be known by the pip developers, see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/1924, but apparently they have no plans to fix it. Perhaps you can implement a workaround?
