Custom Python Package Won't Properly Install via Pip In VirtualEnv

I've created a new python package for a project I'm working on.

It has a folder structure that resembles:

bin
docs
mypackage
license.md
readme.md
setup.py

Here are the contents of my setup.py:

try:
    from setuptools import setup
except ImportError:
    from distutils.core import setup

config = {
    'description': 'A python client for foo',
    'author': 'Me',
    'url': 'https://github.com/account/mypackage',
    'download_url': 'https://github.com/account/mypackage',
    'author_email': '[email protected]',
    'version': '0.1',
    'install_requires': ['nose'],
    'name': 'MyPackage'
}

setup(**config)

I'm not ready to make this public so I install it directly from Git via:

pip install git+ssh://[email protected]/account/mypackage.git

Here's the output:

Downloading/unpacking git+ssh://[email protected]/account/mypackage.git
  Cloning git+ssh://[email protected]/account/mypackage.git to /var/folders/7w/qsdf76s97sfsdf7sdf97sdf/T/pip-ovbMpR-build
  Running setup.py egg_info for package from git+ssh://[email protected]/account/mypackage.git

Downloading/unpacking nose (from MyPackage==0.1)
  Downloading nose-1.2.1.tar.gz (400kB): 400kB downloaded
  Running setup.py egg_info for package nose

    no previously-included directories found matching 'doc/.build'
Installing collected packages: nose, MyPackage
  Running setup.py install for nose

    no previously-included directories found matching 'doc/.build'
    Installing nosetests script to /Users/user/sandbox/.pyvirtualenvs/project/bin
    Installing nosetests-2.7 script to /Users/user/sandbox/.pyvirtualenvs/project/bin
  Running setup.py install for MyPackage

Successfully installed nose MyPackage
Cleaning up...

It says it installed correctly, but when I check /Users/user/sandbox/.pyvirtualenvs/project/bin - I don't see my MyPackage.

I see that nose was installed correctly, and it created a MyPackage-0.1-py2.7.egg-info/ directory - but no mypackage folder with my library.

Consequently, when I try to use the package, it cannot be found.

Why? Is my setup.py configured incorrectly?

It doesn't appear you are actually instructing setup to install your package.

You'll need something like:

packages=['mypackage'],

in your setup() call. Checkout how py-bootstrap does it: https://github.com/splaice/py-bootstrap/blob/master/setup.py

For including bin scripts, you'll need to list your scripts with the scripts directive as well, for example:

scripts=['bin/myscript']
