Hi.
The best is probably to use a virtual environment or conda environment specific for this changed version of scikit-learn. In that environment you could just run an "install" and it would not mess with your other environments. If you don't want to go that way, you can also do ``python setup.py build_ext -i`` to build inplace and then add this path to your python path (PYTONPATH environment variable or sys.path.insert in the script or many other ways).

Best,
Andy

I'm looking for the best way to install sklearn into a specific folder so
I can make changes for my work, without worrying about bugging my main
sklearn installation (as I use the default version for some experiments
too).

I tried to clone the git repository and use "python setup.py install", but
I'm afraid it will change my user installation too.

Right now, what I want is to edit a file called splitter.pyx (on tree
folder), compile/install sklearn so it will work with my changes, and test
it.

What is the best way to do it without causing problems with my main
sklearn installation?

Thanks a lot for your attention
