But most of the download from Github has a directory named 'xxxx-master' which
causes a trouble sometimes.
Those are likely not meant to be imported directly.
Typically, you have a "setup" step which installs (in some way)
a "distribution". This step usually ensures that you can use
"normal" Python import syntax to access all associated packages.
The "setup" step is typically performed with
"python setup.py develop" or "python setup.py install" --
with the "distribution" providing the "setup.py".
Yes, I understand the normal procedure on using a package, but it's not always
the case.
I'm curious - if this is the correct way to do things, and the original
author intends the package/module for you to download, why does (s)he
choose to follow an non-Pythonic naming convention?
Does this say something about the author?
- something about his/her abilities in Python?
- the Python-friendliness (or otherwise) of GitHub? (cf PyPi)
