Python module won't install
Question: This is my `setup.py` file

    
    
    #!/usr/bin/env python
    
    from setuptools import setup
    from sys import path
    
    setup(name= 'conundrum',
        version= '0.1.0',
        author= 'elssar',
        author_email= 'elssar@altrawcode.com',
        py_modules= ['conundrum'],
        url= 'https://github.com/elssar/conundrum',
        license= 'MIT',
        description= 'A framework agnostic blog generator.',
        long_description= open(path[0]+'/README.md', 'r').read(),
        install_requires= [
            'PyYAML >= 3.0.9',
            'Markdown >= 2.2.0',
            'requests >= 1.0.4',
            ],
    )
    

I have tried using both `setuptools` and `distutils`, but this won't install
my module. Instead I get

    
    
    file module.py (for module module) not found
    

This is my directory structure

    
    
    /module
    |--/test
    |--README.md
    |--license.txt
    |--module.py
    |--setup.py
    

Just to be clear, module is the root directory.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

This is the output when I try to install

Just to be sure there isn't something wrong my my system, I downloaded two
packages from github with a similar `setup.py` and installed them. Installed
without any problems.


Answer: I cannot run `setup.py` from a different directory. It needs to be run from
the directory it is in. That was the problem here.

Fixed.
