Import error when running examples in editable mode

[TeresiaOlsson]

If I install in editable mode with pip install -e .[cs-oa-epics] I can't run the examples in the examples folder because I get the error:

    from pyaml.accelerator import Accelerator
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyaml.accelerator'

Only if I switch to not editable mode with pip install .[cs-oa-epics] is the module found. Anyone else who has this problem?

I also experimented issue with -e and I recall that -e is supposed to work with setup tools.
We are using hatch.
I get an issue similar to this one: pypa/hatch#1462

[TeresiaOlsson]

What is then the way to do editable installations in hatch? Feels like there must be a way or hatch prefers some other way to do development work?

I have used poetry and uv before and never had problems with editable installations then. But I haven't tried how they work for pyAML so not sure if it has to do with the tool or if it's something pyAML specific.

There is clearly a problem in tango-pyaml binding using -e linked to the shared namespace between tango and tango-pyaml.
However i do not expect problem when using pyaml and pyaml-cs-oa.
Did you try to install them separately, I mean without [cs-oa-epics] ?

[TeresiaOlsson]

No, I didn't try that. I will check tomorrow what happens if I try to install without optional dependencies and if that makes a difference. It would be strange if it does but I have also never had this problem with pyaml before.
