Use `editable install` in Python

How to

Structure of project folder

mypkg/
├── pyproject.toml      
├── setup.py
├── README.md
├── mypkg/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── core.py
└── tests

Run editable install

cd mypkg
pip install -e .

Then

Use the following import anywhere.

from mypkg.core import my_function

pyproject.toml

Replace all the *** and mypkg.

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools==80.9.0", "wheel==0.46.1"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"


[project]
name = "***"
version = "***"
description = "****"
readme = "README.md"
authors = [
    { name = "***", email = "***" }
]
requires-python = "***"
classifiers = [
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
    "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
    "Operating System :: OS Independent",
]
dependencies = []

[project.urls]
Homepage = "***"
Repository = "***"

[tool.setuptools.packages.find]
where = ["."]
include = ["mypkg*"]

setup.py

from setuptools import setup

setup()

ps

Revert the above, if needed.

pip uninstall mypkg
