After setup.py install cannot import new module

Build Environment
1

python 3.6.4

I was able to run python setup.py install in my environment and then i was able to run my test.py which simply imports my new module.

In circleci, it seems that it is unable to find my module even though the install seems to have worked without any errors.

Here is my output:
my commands in config.yml

. venv/bin/activate
cd alm
pwd
echo start installing
python setup.py install
cd …
echo pip freeze
pip freeze
python --version
pip --version
echo ‘start testing’
python test2.py

output from the commands above

hi guys,
I just realized that the error above is the culprit. After the error, it does not continue the installation.

Anyone know how i why build/lib doesn’t exist in virtualenv in circleci?

I saw something related the other day. Do you happen to have a build directory in your repo? If so, can you try renaming it? Python imports are weird.

Thanks for your reply, drazisil.
I found the problem. It was my dumb mistake. I forgot to
git add __init __.py file. :blush:
