Using Git Submodules With Python

I've read a lot of blog posts and questions on this site about the usage of git submodules and still have no idea how to better use them with python. I mean, what is the easier way

Solution 1:

I'm not saying it's impossible, but very hard and very tricky. A safer way is to turn each submodule into an installable Python module (with it's own setup.py) and install the submodules from Git.

This link describes how to install packages from Git with setup.py: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32689886/2952185

Solution 2:

Thankfully to Gijs Wobben and sinoroc I came up with solution that works for my case:

install_requires=['subm1 @ file://localhost/<CURENT_DIR>/path/to/subm1']
