installation from source gets overwritten by pip installation
Hi, I am building and installing gmsh from source.
One of the packages I use lists gmsh among its requirements. While pip install
ing such a package, my installation from source gets overwritten by the one on pypi.
I believe that this is due to the fact that the folder gmsh-{VERSION}.dist-info
does not get created on installation from source.
Minimal way to reproduce:
- compile gmsh from source
- run
pip3 show gmsh
, and verify it complains that gmsh is not installed - run
pip3 install gmsh
, and verify that it will download gmsh from pypi
