Installation other than with pip #5

Closed adhawkins closed 3 years ago

I'm trying to package this for Alpine, so that the build tests for my Emborg package can be run.

Any change of providing a setup.py so that it can be installed like any other Python package, without needing to go via PIP?

Let me know if I'm not understanding your constraints (I don't know anything about packaging for Alpine), but is there a reason you can't do:

$ git clone git@github.com:kalekundert/parametrize_from_file.git
$ cd parametrize_from_file
$ pip install .

My understanding is pyproject.toml currently accepted way to specify how a python project should be built/installed, and that using setup.py would be a step backwards. See: PEP 518

Apologies, since posting this I have been pointed into the correct way to do it for Alpine. Was about to come back and delete / close this issue.

Thanks for your input.
