How to develop - Githubissues

Hi, I wanted to further issue #210 and cloned the repository. The only thing I managed to do was building the package with pip install . as suggested in the readme. What I would like to do is:

run any of the unit tests
run my own script that uses the local clone of openTSNE
change things in openTSNE and test my changes

However, I am not very experienced in python package development and I have trouble finding out what I'm doing wrong. I tried running python -m unittest tests/test_utils.py, but it errored:

E
======================================================================
ERROR: test_utils (unittest.loader._FailedTest)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError: Failed to import test module: test_utils
Traceback (most recent call last):

Ran 1 test in 0.000s

FAILED (errors=1)
(venv)

I also tried to create my own script in the same directory where pyproject.toml sits:

import openTSNE.tsne
from sklearn import datasets

if __name__ == '__main__':
    iris = datasets.load_iris()
    x, y = iris["data"], iris["target"]
    tsne = openTSNE.tsne.TSNE()
    embed = tsne.fit(x)

But running that errors similarly:

$ python myscript.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\haegeldd\git\openTSNE\myscript.py", line 1, in <module>
    import openTSNE.tsne
  File "C:\Users\haegeldd\git\openTSNE\openTSNE\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .tsne import TSNE, TSNEEmbedding, PartialTSNEEmbedding, OptimizationInterrupt
  File "C:\Users\haegeldd\git\openTSNE\openTSNE\tsne.py", line 11, in <module>
    from openTSNE import _tsne
ImportError: cannot import name '_tsne' from partially initialized module 'openTSNE' (most likely due to a circular import) (C:\Users\haegeldd\git\openTSNE\openTSNE\__init__.py)
(venv)

So yeah, how do I run anything?
