Under the cover, all the work is done using a virtualenv in the wortkree.
First you have to make sure you have a correct qiproject.xml, and a setup.py next to it.
Also make sure to use qi_create_python_ext or qi_swig_wrap_python if you want your python extensions to be found
Something looking like
<project version="3">
<qibuild name="b_ext">
<qipython name="b" />
</project>
qi_create_python_ext(mymodule mymodule.cpp)
# or
qi_swig_python(mymodule.i mymodule.cpp)
where mymodule is the name of the python module, mymodule.cpp are some sources, and mymodule.i is the name of the swig interface file.
import os
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(name="mymodule",
version="0.1",
py_modules=['mymodule'],
)
Some useful links:
Your project should now be listed when running qipy list
This will initialize a virtualenv in the wortkree, and should be run when changing or adding new python projects.
You can use a -c option to have several virtualenv in the wortkree.
The virtualenv will be initialized using pip install --editable, so you will be able to run your python code directly from the sources
