I'm trying to run some pre-installation commands for a pip library I'm writing. My setup file looks like:
from setuptools import setup
from setuptools.command.install import install
class CustomInstall(install):
def run(self):
install.run(self)
print "TEST"
setup(
...
cmdclass={'install': CustomInstall},
...)
Based on Run custom task when call `pip install`.
However, pip installing is not printing "TEST". Is there something wrong I'm doing here? How can I get this setup.py file to actually print?
UPDATE: The following, FYI, does raise an Attribute error:
from setuptools import setup
from setuptools.command.install import install
class CustomInstall(install):
def run(self):
install.run(self)
raise AttributeError
setup(
...
cmdclass={'install': CustomInstall},
...)
