That way I can't both have a representative installed environment (using "import mymodule" works in this environment) and the ability to continue developing on my regular personal directory. What is the point to have the develop eggs in the develop-eggs if I'm not able to use them ? I was under the impression that I needed to install those eggs: http://www.k4ml.com/node/271 Using pip, if I install a development environment, I end up exactly with that file (content is the same): lib/python/site-packages/mymodule.egg-link I hope that I was clear on my intent. Don't hesitate if it's not the case ! Regards, _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
