Installing a package directly from Github and importing it in a script

[holwech]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install a package directly from Github using poetry, but I'm struggling to get it to work the way I hope it can.

As a demo, I've followed the docs and attempted to install pendulum by running the following command poetry add git+https://github.com/sdispater/pendulum.git which successfully installs the package to my environment. I then want to import pendulum, but this does not seem to work as I just get the error No module named 'pendulum'.

Is it even possible to install a package in this way? If so, what do I have to do to be able to use the installed package in my code?

I'm planning on setting up my own repo that will work as an installable package, so it would be useful to know what the requirements are for a package to be installable.

Thanks!

I see now that I had activated the wrong environment, it seems to be as simple as running the poetry add command after all ;)

Hi, i could not get your answer. I have same problem with my github sample python project. i could add this project with poetry add command but could not import. When i try to run it says no module name. Should i switch to some environment ?
