Python Error setup.py install

Question

good morning,
I am following this guide
https://the-hitchhikers-guide-to-packaging.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html
to make public a simple python module I wrote.
When from windows i write python setup.py install it tells me that the package 'testpython'
packages = ['testpython']
does not exist. Why?
(testpython replace "towelstuff".)

Answer 1

Can you share screenshots of the directory and codes

Answer 2

I wrote scripts content and directories tree:

Answer 3

I see there is no __init__.py file in the subdirectory "towelstuff"
This file is must to create a package.
and LoCoding , I suggest you to look for better and more understandable resources like this

Hi AKSHAY🇮🇳
At the moment i'm reading documentation to clarify doubts.
I've seen wich if i install my personal package from Python 3.9 (within Linux) it works, in windows (Python 2.7) not.

There are many differences in Python 2.7 and Python 3.9.
You have to see documentation according to your python version

Answer 7

"There are many differences in Python 2.7 and Python 3.9."
Obviously 😅 i've been stupid.
I based with other project which work in Python 2.7 and 3.x so i thought that can be works without think the other project are developed to be compatible with difference versions.

Answer 8

Check your directory name..
Do you have same directory structure as in tutorial??
Your directory name and package name should be same

Answer 9

AKSHAY🇮🇳 I'm sure you do :(
I'll try...

Answer 10

AKSHAY🇮🇳 [INACTIVE] doesn't work.
It could be because the python version wich i used to install package is different? (2.x vs 3.9).
I tried to replace path with absoulute path in packages field, but doesn't work.
