Install package with pip
-------------------------------------------------
For development, we recommend to use virtualenv_ environments and pip_
for installing your application and any dependencies
as well as the ``pytest`` package itself. This ensures your code and
dependencies are isolated from the system Python installation.
First you need to place a `setup.py` file in the root of your package with the following minimum content:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(name="PACKAGENAME", packages=find_packages())
Where `PACKAGENAME` is the name of your package. You can then install your package in "editable" mode by running from the same directory::
pip install -e .
which lets you change your source code (both tests and application) and rerun tests at will.
This is similar to running ``python setup.py develop`` or ``conda develop`` in that it installs
your package using a symlink to your development code.
