Hi I've just started looking into distutils because I need to write an extension module in C (for performance reasons) and distutils seems to be the most straight-forward way.
I've had success building a C file into a Python extension module using "python setup.py build" but I am wondering what the recommended way for using that module during development is. While writing Python code I'm used to just run the code from the source directory. But the built extension module's .so of course does not just end up on sys.path magically. So how do I run my code so it will find the built extension module? Do I pass the output directory on the command line manually or is there some other solution? I would like to still be able to run the code from the source directory as I'm using PyCharm to edit and debug the code. Many thanks! Michael
