this is the pyproject.toml file

[rigid juniper]

So you are using setuptools are your build-backend. Do you have an additional setup.py or setup.cfg file?

[main basin]

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools >= 61.0"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

yup. I do deleted those setup file

I can get them back with git history thing hehe

[rigid juniper]

well, right now your package doesn't have anything discoverable to import. So I suspect there might be something wonky in your extra setuptools stuff

Because even though pip can build it... if it's building nothing it'll work, just not as intended

[rigid juniper]

That tells me nothing about your setup.py file

[main basin]

https://github.com/KillerBOSS2019/YTMD_SDK/blob/6dfe29472dced1e3e2bc96daaf773a90282bda5b/setup.py
this is what I had before with setup.py

I did also notice that when I pip install it puts parser in root of site-packages

[rigid juniper]

okay, your project has since changed though. For instance your package directory name is now ytmd_sdk. So did you update your setup.py file when you changed that?

[main basin]

instead of within ytmd_sdk

[main basin]

well, one of the helper/mod ( can't remember ) told me I should switch to pyproject.toml as setup.py is old outdated

[rigid juniper]

So, you don't follow either format what the setup tools auto-discovery can detect. So you need to manually list out your packages and where to find them. But you don't do that either

https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/package_discovery.html#auto-discovery

So I assumed you were maybe still using your setup.py or setup.cfg since you can still do a hybrid approach

[main basin]

so I guess I am using adhoc aka flat-layout

interesting...

[rigid juniper]

you aren't though. It's close, but that's now what your project layout is

oh wait, no

hold on

You do override the automatic discovery. Why?

[main basin]

not sure

#python-discussion message

[rigid juniper]

Right, that's an example which may not be copy-pastable for you.

Since it's assuming a very specific layout there

[main basin]

gotcha...

[rigid juniper]

Try removing that section and relying on automatic discovery, see if that gets you closer

[main basin]

hmm... that worked. but also have odd behavior

I made sure to uninstall old build. and reinstall. It created 2 root folder in site-packages

a parser and ytmd_sdk

[rigid juniper]

was parser specifically uninstalled previously?

[main basin]

yup. I made sure of that.

I also checked ytmd_sdk-1.0.0.dist-info and it does say it put parser folder in root and another one within ytmd_sdk

very odd...

[rigid juniper]

I wonder if it's a namespace thing

[main basin]

this is what it looks like after uninstall ytmd_sdk

[rigid juniper]

try this in your pyproject.toml

[tool.setuptools.packages]
find = {namespaces = false}

[main basin]

same result

( I just copy and pasted. not sure if I was suppose to change anything )

[rigid juniper]

hurm... this is a bit past my wheel house right now. Might be worth asking in #packaging-and-distribution how to alter the auto-discovery to not pull subpackages into the root when you install it.

I think it's still namespacing because of the __init__.py in the parser

[main basin]

I can remove __init__.py if that helps

It's just a habit to create __init__.py

[rigid juniper]

You can try, but the behavior might get a bit wonky if it's not a package

[main basin]

oh wait it also included test folder too??
c:\users\damie\documents\tp-ytdm-plugin\.env\lib\site-packages\test\*

(.env) PS C:\Users\Damie\Documents\TP-YTDM-Plugin> pip uninstall ytmd-sdk
Found existing installation: ytmd-sdk 1.0.0
Uninstalling ytmd-sdk-1.0.0:
  Would remove:

Proceed (Y/n)? y
  Successfully uninstalled ytmd-sdk-1.0.0

[rigid juniper]

It shouldn't, test and tests are part of the flat layout default exclude

[main basin]

yea it did

this is so messed up lol

[rigid juniper]

do you still have this?

[main basin]

yup

[rigid juniper]

remove that and try again

[main basin]

let me delete .env and make new one to make sure...

ig it was happening before and I didn't notice it until now

I think my brain is about to explode lol
