[04:45:17] <koobs> Anyone know how to override the following (share/man/man1 path) in a setup.cfg from the commannd line?

[04:45:19] <koobs> [options.data_files]

[04:45:21] <koobs> share/man/man1 =

[04:45:23] <koobs> upt.1

[04:45:32] <koobs> I need 'share/man/man1' to be 'man/man1'

[15:28:11] <ramnes> hey there - I'm trying to install a project without setup.py but with pyproject.toml in editable mode, is it something that can be done? I'm seeing a lot of issues and discussions around this, but no proposed solution for that use case

[15:28:56] <ramnes> I just want to modify that library and see how my own codebase reacts to the changes, without reinstalling the library all the time

[15:30:00] <ramnes> so far the only solution I found was to pip install without -e, then cd into the virtualenv and overwrite the library directory with a symlink, but it seems super weird that there isn't a proper solution for doing this

[15:40:27] <nedbat> ramnes: i don't have experience with pyproject.toml? why isn't -e the right solution?

[15:43:13] <ramnes> nedbat: because it simply does not work :)

[15:43:20] <ramnes> pip doesn't want to install -e a project without a setup.py

[15:43:47] <nedbat> ramnes: how does it install it in any case?

[15:43:48] <ramnes> it even says so: ERROR: File "setup.py" not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable mode: ... (A "pyproject.toml" file was found, but editable mode currently requires a setup.py based build.)

[15:44:08] <ramnes> well, by parsing pyproject.toml

[15:45:28] <nedbat> ramnes: it does seem strange that there isn't a way to do it.

[15:52:12] <ramnes> nedbat: yep, and I read tons of discussion without feeling any more informed

[15:52:56] <ramnes> honestly I'm astonished by the amount of discussion for such a simple use case

[15:53:21] <ramnes> and by the fact that I end up asking here if someone knows the actual solution

[15:59:46] <ramnes> ahah

[20:32:50] <Deknos> hi, somehow pypi does not send me an activation mail for verifying my email account. but it IS the correct one.. any idea, if there are problems? or how long does an activation email take?

[20:37:43] <energizer> ramnes: afaik we're just waiting https://discuss.python.org/t/specification-of-editable-installation/1564/38

[20:37:49] <energizer> it's pretty frustrating

[20:48:22] <Deknos> waiting for an activation mail, too :D
