So this is perhaps the disconnect: I did not say the metadata should move: it should be in the private directory - it has to be adjacent to the packages/modules its describing, since if it is present but the package/module is not that is at the very best confusing for tools like pip. That private directory must be on the python search path when running the application (or the modules can't be imported). -Rob -- Robert Collins <rbtcoll...@hp.com> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud
