Hi all, I am really confused as to how setuptools and distutils work. Basically what i want to achieve is be able to install packages in my local environment and not globally ( just a preference ) . I know I can use virtualenv and distribute but i just want to do some simple testing and don't really want to setup a virtualenv for that.
The usual practice I adopted for this was that in setup.py I would change the lines from setuptools import setup to from distutils.core import setup this way i can use python setup.py develop instead of python setup.py install and it will install the package in the same directory but it turns out when i use python setup.py develop in this fashion while this particular package is installed locally all other packages acquired from pypi are installed in the usual way . Is there any way i can solve that make it install all packages locally ..
