bug: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'recurring_ical_events'

[daniele-athome]

Describe the bug
Probably a packaging error? Importing the module in a plain venv doesn't work.

To Reproduce

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install recurring-ical-events
python3
>> import recurring_ical_events
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-0>", line 1, in <module>
    import recurring_ical_events
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'recurring_ical_events'

Version:

3.5.0

Additional context

I discovered the bug when working with the python-caldav project, more details here: python-caldav/caldav#329

Uh. I restructured the package from a file to a directory. Maybe, is it not included in the build file? Would you like to have a look? It could need adding to the manifest file.

[niccokunzmann]

Sorry for the inconvenience! I will delete the release once there is a fix. Then, you do not need to add an exception.

#212 seems to be the relevant pull request

It's interesting for me too, I have different structure in all my packages and would like to go for the "best current practice" on this field. poetry was suggested on FOSDEM.

Unfortunately I don't have more time to look into this today. (but anyway @niccokunzmann is way faster than me) :-)

[niccokunzmann]

I just 'yanked' release 3.5.0 as it does not contain the source files. I think, it is time to transition to the new pyproject.toml format. I will create a new release with that then. I use that in my other projects.

With #215, I should have a fix.

v3.5.1 has been released to PyPI. Could you check if it closes the issue for you?

[daniele-athome]

And we got source files :-) thanks for the quick fix!
