Formulaic / Poetry install top-level tests package

[jseabold]

Unclear to me what the issue is. I'm not familiar with poetry, but I have a top-level namespace package from formulaic that's called tests. Here is what I believe to be the relevant poetry issue python-poetry/poetry#2353 with links to other packages that are running into this..

Thanks for reporting this @jseabold ! Might not have noticed otherwise. Will check into it ahead of the next release.

Hmmm... I took a quick look, and it looks like none of the distributed files are shipping with the tests module. How are you installing formulaic?

[jseabold]

I installed lifelines via pip and formulaic was installed as a dependency.

I've tried to reproduce this in a few different ways (including different versions of Python, with and without wheel installed), and I cannot.

python -m venv my_env
source my_env/bin/activate
pip install lifelines

This always installs formulaic, but I never see a toplevel tests module being installed.

Can you attempt to reproduce it? And if you can, let me know more details like: operating system and python versions, distribution of Python (system, conda, official), etc?

[matthewwardrop]

I cannot reproduce this one, so I am going to close this out for now. If you see it happening again, let me know!
