How to use python setup.py install or pip install . in pixi?

[chihchiehchen]

Hello,

Thanks for sharing this great project. I have question on building local repositories in pixi environment. First I used pixi shell to open the virtual environment, then move to the target directory with setup.py in it, finally use pip install ..

The packages are installed in .pixi/envs/default/lib/python3.11, however, when I tried to import these packages, I always got the error 'No module named xxx'.

Could you give me some hints. In any case thanks for your patient and help.

if you run which pip I'm sure you'll see pip is not being used by pixi. use the pyproject.toml to list local path dependencies
