Installation in editable mode

[p-chambers]

Hi,

I just tried to install droneCFD in editable mode from source (with python setup.py develop) and had this error:

error: ("Can't get a consistent path to setup script from installation directory", '/', '/home/pchambers/git/droneCFD')

I found the problem is in the setup.cfg line:

[egg_info]
egg_base = /tmp

Does this line have a purpose? In any case removing this fixed the issue and allows local install in development mode.

May I ask also how you compile your distribution, looking at PyPi I assume you use python setup.py sdist?

What OS and version of Python?

This is on both Ubuntu 14.04 and OS X Yosemite, with Python 2.7.10. If it helps I am using Anaconda Python distribution on both machines.
