Again, it seems like you are talking about > a specific environment, not Python the language. i hope my comments above are sufficient to get my points across about "environment". i use this command to put my project into a local virtual environment: (env)$ pip3 install -e $NGFP_SRC_HOME/ --no-cache-dir --force-reinstall where: -e,--editable <path/url> Install a project in editable mode (i.e. setuptools "develop mode") from a local project path or a VCS url. it doesn't seem to work how i expect, but that could be my own bug someplace. haven't tracked it down yet. i'm also trying to get back more to what my initial goals were with this project (to learn the language and to learn OOP concepts better). when i can get back to the code itself and whack it into better shape then i'll feel a lot better. i admit it is a mess now. songbird -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
