Repository with "split" layout and editable installation #25

Open

Description

@robertodr

I am working on a project that has a somewhat unusual layout of the source folder:

  • All sources (C++ and Python) are under src
  • The Python sources are in src/pymodule
  • The C++ pybind11 sources are in src/python

Running pip install . works as expected, but I am having trouble with making the editable (pip install -e .) installation work. Can it be made to work?
Note that both editable and non-editable installations work if I:

  • rename the folder for the Python sources to src/hello
  • use package_dir = {'': 'src'} in setup.py
  • set the DESTINATION in the src/{hello,python}/CMakeLists.txt to src/hello

Here is a sample project for this "split" layout: https://github.com/robertodr/scikit-build-sample-projects/tree/split-layout/projects/hello-split-layout

    Having the same issue, does anybody know how to enable editable mode?
