fix #6

I have changed README.md file to use pip to install the package.

I have moved the submodule, so that is comes along in the install updated the refrenses to the submodule in the relevent places.

Thanks, you're right about the README instructions - I couldn't get that to work either.

I have taken your modifications (move data-model -> fisdat/data-model &c) and used importlib to import the file. This seems to work regardless of current working directory.

The examples still use absolute paths, I will update these…

Could you see if this modification works for you?

[druimalban]

For the examples, when we are able to host the data model somewhere externally, we can avoid using an absolute path to the data model.

yaml and shell files are not comming along :(

You could try removing the fisdat/data_model directory and then git checkout -- fisdat/data_model?

Perhaps also there is an interaction with the virtual environment, I had to remove mine and follow the steps in the readme file to reproduce your problem.

[TrondurT]

where are you running the script from???

[druimalban]

The workflow I have is to source the virtualenv activation script, then I run python setup.py develop and it usually picks up changes immediately.

I had a similar result with python setup.py install albeit it was annoying when making many changes as I kept having to run it.

I tested running fisdat, fisup in /tmp and in the examples/sentinel_cages directory of the repository check-out.

When working with your changes, I worked in a fresh checkout of the repository and used the gh CLI tool to fetch yours.

The interaction of the virtual environment with setup.py interaction is quite opaque to me.

I see

stackoverflow

so you are using the files that are in the git reposotory and not installing the package into site-packages. And therefore the yaml files are relative to the script files.

[wwaites]

The secret to not being annoyed is to run python setup.py develop. This installs the module to python's site-packages as symlinks with some metadata to your checked out tree. Using install copies the module which is why you have to keep re-running it.

Similar can be accomplished with python -m pip install -e .
