Help needed with conda-build and setting up meta.yaml, and setup.py for module/submodule structure.

Hello,

I am trying to build a conda package, using conda-build, from pure python modules (and submodules). As a starter I use the cookiecutter at https://github.com/conda/cookiecutter-conda-python.git. If I understand correctly, one can only include python submodules if the source files are on github ? Can someone please point me to a comprehensive example (even for a non professional programmer) on how to make a pure python package using conda-build, out of a simple module/submodule structure ? To be more precise, I'm interested in how to set :

• meta.yaml file (and how to use load_setup_py_data() function ?)
• setup.py file. For further information : I manage creating a package from a local file where all my python code is in one file, but when I use the same approach on a git source (where I have only my python code in modules and submodules) , I get this error :

(%BUILD_PREFIX%) %SRC_DIR%>python setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --record=record.txt python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Thanks

This is a repo used for a tutorial at Scipy 2018, which may be used as teh basis for future tutorials (thought not SciPY2019).

So we welcome suggestions for making it better, but it's not a place to get help / ask questions.

I suggest you look to the conda docs and mailing lists for that help:

https://conda.io/projects/conda-build/en/latest/

Also, conda-forge is a great source of examples:

I'm going to tag this as a suggestion for future improvement.

Thank you for your message.
