I'm building a python package (end goal for pypi distribution) that relies on a C library. I have cffi included in my setup.py --
cffi_modules=['my_package/my_build/build.py:ffibuilder'],
which successfully compiles these files when I call setup.py sdist bdist_wheel ---
_c_my_package.o
_c_my_package.c
_c_my_package.cpython-37m-darwin.so
(and, in the wheel, _c_my_package.abi3.so - but I don't want to use ABI functionality)
However, when I pip install my_package (works fine) and then from the interpreter I >>>import my_package I get told:
no module named _c_my_package
NB: when I pip install -e /locallocation/my_package , it will import the compiled c scripts as modules.
How do I prepare these modules properly for importing?
cffi 1.11.5, python3.7
