pip "editable" installs to <cwd>/src directory #39

Closed stianpr closed 9 years ago

When having an active shell doing: pip install -e git+http://repo/my_project.git#egg=SomeProject installs the package to src in my current working directory. Shouldn't it be installed to the virtual env directory? This is how it works with pyvenv. Maybe my setup is wrong?

pip is using its environment to decide where to put things. If your environment got messed up e.g. by a .bashrc, this could happen. All vex can do is set the environment for the process it runs. If that process is a shell and decides to change the environment that you are using when you run pip from that shell, there is no mechanism vex can use to override the shell. You can try using vex pip and you can look at your shell environment.
