I would like to make changes (and possibly contribute if its any good) to a public project on GitHub. I've forked and cloned the module but Im unclear how to get my program to import the local library instead of the 'official' installed module.
I tried cloning it into my project folder but when I imported it and tried to use it things got weird calmap\calmap.plot()
I also tried doing sys.path.append
and the folder location. But it seems to still import the official one instead of the forked.
I'm assuming that I could put my program inside the module folder so that module would be found first but I can't image thats the 'correct' way to do it.

If you're already using anaconda, then you can create a new environment just for the development of this feature.
First, create a new environment:
# develop_lib is the name of the environment.
# You can pick anything that is memorable instead.
# You can also use whatever python version you require ...
conda create -n develop_lib python3.5
Once you have the environment, then you probably want to enter that environment in your current session:
source activate develop_lib
Ok, now that you have the environment set up, you'll probably need to install some requirements for whatever third party library you're developing. I don't know what those dependencies are, but you can install them in your environment using conda install
(if they're available) or using pip
. Now you're ready to start working with the library that you want to update. python setup.py develop
should be available assuming that the package has a standard build process. After you've run that, things should be good to go. You can make changes, run tests, etc.
