Installation results in only a .dist-info folder (Pypi Packaging)

I followed the instructions on https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/ and created an example package.

However, when installing, it only creates a testvansjoerd-0.0.2.dist-info folder in Python's site_packages folder. Thus giving me an error when doing an import testvansjoerd

Example package: https://test.pypi.org/project/testvansjoerd/

I installed using python -m pip -v install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ testvansjoerd==0.0.2

Log output:

Config variable 'Py_DEBUG' is unset, Python ABI tag may be incorrect
Config variable 'WITH_PYMALLOC' is unset, Python ABI tag may be incorrect

Sorry for the stupid package name, initially I creating a package that had a hyphen in it, and thought that was the root cause.

At this point I'm not even sure if it's an environment issue or an issue with the package.

Windows 10, Python 3.7

python-3.x python

Currently your project structure looks like:

/testvansjoerd
  setup.py
  setup.cfg
  README.md

However, in order to have a minimal package which can be imported, you'll have to create one (a folder with an empty __init__.py). The project structure will look like:

/testvansjoerd
  /testvansjoerd
    __init__.py
  setup.py
  setup.cfg
  README.md

The above file structure also mentioned in the packing documentation.

If anyone is still having this problem.

If you have project structure like this:

/project
   /src
      /package_name
         __init__.py
         main.py
         ...
   setup.py
   README.md
   ...

Just try to change packages= in your setup script:

packages=setuptools.find_packages('src/')

So it will be searching for packages in src
