So to check I'm on the right track here... setup.py is a way of installing stuff using pip or like telling pip how to install your module?

Or something! And I need to fill it in so pip can do pip magic?

yep! setup.py is the Python-standard way of indicating how to install stuff.

Generally you don't use pip with setup.py though (unless you `pip install -e .`) pip is more for installing other peoples' packages.

If you want to allow other people to install your package with pip though, then you need a setup.py (but not for normal development).

I'm confused. I thought that is exactly why setup.py was being discussed here — because I need to make one for my package?

Sorry, trying to clarify that you don't use `pip` for development. You use `setup.py develop` to make your package and install it locally.

to try to clarify further :). Generally, 'setup.py' is the basic "how to install stuff." in Python. pip uses it. Other things use it.

and of course open source being open source there are other ways to install stuff than relying on setup,py, but it's prob the most common.

OK. I'll try to read up when I have to but sadly other "more important" priorities push these things further down to pile of stuff to read.
