building a project that has code in src directory #228

Closed bfmcneill closed 2 years ago

bfmcneill commented 3 years ago

I can't seem to figure out how to build a project where the package is in one directory below config file

src
    \
     guessnumber

Should I put the installer.cfg inside the src file or is there some way to configure installer.cfg to reach in one level?

It finds the package like an import (import guessnumber). So you can install it locally in the same Python environment as Pynsist, or set the environment variable PYTHONPATH=src/ while running Pynsist, or anything else that would make it importable.

I probably wouldn't design it this way now, but it is what it is.
