[13:24:34] <cbilt> hello. when i upload a new version of my package, i can do 'pip search <package>' and get the latest version. however when i run 'pip install <package>' i get the previous version. and when i do 'pip install <package==X.Y.Z>' where X.Y.Z is latest i get a not found error
[13:24:48] <cbilt> (shortly after uploading, i am guessing that's why)
[13:25:42] <cbilt> the reason i am installing it very shortly after uploading is that i am wanting to check that it all works properly. will 'python setup.py install' have exactly the same effect as 'pip install <package>', so i can use that method to test that everything works instead?
[17:19:10] <toad_polo> cbilt: I would not recommend using `setup.py install` at all.
[17:19:37] <toad_polo> `pip` will accept a file path, though, you don't need to upload something to pip install it.
[17:19:44] <toad_polo> `pip install .` will instlal the current directory.
[17:20:27] <toad_polo> It is also worth looking at this post, which discusses how to configure your testing to use the "as installed" version: https://hynek.me/articles/testing-packaging/
