Unable to load python entry_point when developing python package

I am trying to develop a python package that is importable and also has entry_point to call from shell.

When trying to call the entry point I get: pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (pysec-aws 0.1.dev1 (/Users/myuser/PycharmProjects/pysec-aws), Requirement.parse('pysec-aws==0.1.dev0'))

Essentially what I did before getting this error, is incrementing the version from 0.1.dev0 to 0.1.dev1 in setup.py, and running python setup.py sdist and then pip install -e .

What am I doing wrong? What is the proper way to install development versions of packages you are actively developing and bundling with setuptools?

The only thing that fixed this issue was to create a new virtualenv.

Apparently my virtualenv/bin had compiled (.pyc) and non-compiled (.py) references to the old version for some reason - they were probably not upgraded / removed when I installed the new version.

Once I created a new virtualenv and re-installed required packages I was able to resolve this issue.

The error is complaining that the application version does not match the version declared in setup.py. Try checking the __version__ set in your application.

You might consider using a single source for the version to avoid this problem. There are a number of different options outlined at https://packaging.python.org/guides/single-sourcing-package-version/. One simple technique, if there are not any external dependencies, is

import myapp
setup(
    ...
    version=myapp.__version__
    ...
)
