How to write setup.py for installing python module without making .egg file

Question

I want to create a setup.py file, which will install a Python module (say, abc) and make a folder abc inside of /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages instead of making an abc.egg file.

inside my setup.py, i tried zip_safe= False, but still my packages are getting installed as zip folder instead of directory. — pjain

According to this answer, you can use

pip install .

to install the package from inside the /path/to/your/setup.py/ to achieve that result.
