Been stuck on the quiz portion of this exercise and I’m not really giving up but I could really use a little help / clues please. I’ve looked at youtube for videos as well as searched the interwebs for help with quiz 46. End of the day I have a lot of questions still as well as error messages (that can be something small that I just missed since I’m a very green rookie).
#3 Make a project and start putting code into the module, then get the module working.
– Ok, I made a simple .py file that’s basically just a “hello world” type of .py. In this case, I named this .py file “yoinks.py”
#4 Put a script in the bin directory that you can run. Read about how you can make a Python script that’s runnable for your system
– Is the script the book talking about the “yoinks.py” that I made? Ok, I placed “yoinks.py” in the bin directory. To make it runnable for my system, that’s the chmod +x bin/yoinks.py ? Do I need to put this “shebang” #!/usr/bin/env python on the top of the yoinks.py?
#5 Mention the bin script you created in your setup.py so that it gets installed.
– This is what my setup.py looks like. Does the packages and scripts portion look correct?
try:
from setuptools import setup
except ImportError:
from distutils.core import setup
config = {
'description': 'My Project Yoink',
'author': 'My Name',
'url': 'URL to get it at.',
'download_url': 'Where to download it.',
'author_email': 'my.name@emailaddress.com',
'version': '0.1',
'install_requires': ['nose'],
'packages': ['yoinks.py'],
'scripts': 'bin/yoinks.py',
'name': 'yoinks'
}
setup(**config)#6 User your setup.py to install your own module and make sure it works, then use pip to uninstall it.
– The error message is included below. I’m sure my inexperience is what preventing me from seeing something super obvious that is right in front of me. The error “error: package directory ‘yoinks/py’ does not exist” how and where do I fix that? I am using “python3 setup.py install” to try and install my module. As for uninstalling with pip, I have not gotten it to install so I have not made it to the uninstalling part.

error: package directory 'yoinks/py' does not existApologies in advance for my greeness/rookieness. I wanted to get through the exercises and quizes as much as possible on my own but I’m stuck in this portion and want to move on. The answer is probably so simple that my jaw will drop. Any help or clues to point me where to find answers are deeply appreciated.
