Unexpected behavior after running python setup.py install inside virtualenv
Here's my directory structure for reference.
|- package1
| '- abc.py
|- setup.py
|- examples
| '- directory1
| '- run.py
|- venv
After running python setup.py install, I see that a package1.egg file is placed successfully in venv/lib/python*/site-packages. When I run pip list the output contains the package1 entry with the correct version as described in the setup.py file.
Now, when I try to run python examples/directory1/run.py the first line of which is import package1, I get an error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'package1'. I get the same error when I launch the python interpreter and try to import package1 too.
What could I be doing wrong?

What does yoursetup.pylook like? You also need__init__.pys in each package directory.
