`ModuleNotFoundError` When Importing Python Package from Git

Question

I'm attempting to install a featurestore package from a private GitHub repo via ssh with the following command:

pip3 install -U git+ssh://git@dsghe.<mydomain>/bshelton/package_test.git@master#egg=featurestore

The install is successful, per the image below:

But when trying to run from featurestore import *, I get a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'featurestore' error.

Using pip3 freeze, I see that the package is installed, but not with the <package>==<version> syntax I would expect, but it seems to be referencing the git commit instead as its "version":

I believe that the repo's directory set-up is appropriate for a Python package, per the screenshot below.

A noticeable difference between this package's install and the other packages I've installed is that it seems like only the ...dist-info folder is installed for my featurestore package, while every other installed package includes the actual package directory, in addition to the ...dist-info folder. Using ls ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages:

This is my first time, trying to create a package like this, and I've been referencing the several sources below, but would appreciate some insight from the community as to what I'm missing. Thanks.

pip install from git repo branch

Answer 1

The cause of my issue turned out to be a syntax error in my setup.cfg above the package_dir and packages lines, which are important if using a package layout with 'src'. Until I fixed the error, my package installed and imported fine in some contexts but not others

Answer 2

I was able to solve for this by moving my featurestore directory up one level, and getting rid of the src directory. Based on the top answer here, I may have been able to also solve for it by simply adding a __init__.py file directly in the src directory. But for my need, src was really an unnecessary level.

New package directory set-up:

Code ran in terminal:

!pip3 install -U git+ssh://git@dsghe.<mydomain>/bshelton/package_test.git@master#egg=featurestore
from featurestore.featurestore import *
