Learn Python the Hard Way ex 46

Question

I'm at a complete loss as to how to complete exercise 46's http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex46.html required quiz. Making the directories in the way explained by the author was very clear and I even got the nosetests to run OK, but I'm at a complete loss for the Required Quiz. I'm supposed to make my own module(?) and install it using pip. AFAIK, to do that I would do

pip install setup.py

while in Powershell but I have no idea where inside of the 'skeleton' to put any of the scripts, modules that I'm supposed to write -- or even what they are supposed to contain. If anyone could help clarify what the meaning of all this is in a newbie friendly way I'd appreciate it very much.

Also, when I try to do

pip install setup.py

from the skeleton folder I get an error from Powershell saying:

Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement setup.py
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for setup.py
Storing debug log for failure in C:\Users\Owner\pip\pip.log

Many thanks for reading and helping in advanced!

Answer 1

Try python setup.py or C:\PythonXX\python.exe setup.py

The difference is that if you want to install a module, lets say numpy. You do

pip install numpy

which downloads it, and runs python setup.py

So if you have something downloaded then you will need to read about "how to install downloaded stuff with pip".
