Python 3.5, Linux, package problem

[samtsevich]

Hi!

I just tried to compile pylada-light on my laptop with Ubuntu 16.04, Python 3.5.2. I switched into python3 branch.
Then I have built it myself and it finished successfully. But my python3 could not recognize pylada as a package. That's why I have copied pylada directory from pylada_package into a necessary directory with all packages by hands.
That means that it does not copy it themselves.
Is it a common problem or just I am an only person, who faced it?

You should not need to switch to the python 3 branch. It has been merged into master.

Otherwise, python setup.py build will only build, without truly installing the package.
If you want to install system wide (or in a virtualenv), do python setup.py install.

You can also do "pip install -e ." from the root of the repo. That will install the package in development mode. It means you can edit files around the code and do "make build" in the build directory to see changes reflected in the python REPL.
