I'm trying to develop a django application to share with a project team. At this point, I have the alpha release of the application ready to share. Following the instructions on how to package a django app, I copied it to a separate folder, made all the files, and ran setup.py. It made my .zip file and all was good.
My confusion is, now that I did that, as per step (1) in the tutorial, my code is sitting outside my django project folder. How am I supposed to develop code if I can't easily run manage.py for migrate and runserver? Am I really expected to run setup.py, create a new package, and run pip upgrade every time I make a change?
In short, is there a way I can run setuptools while keeping the source code in the django folder?
Use the -e flag to pip install to install the project in editable/develop mode.
pip install -e path/to/my/source
