Error while installing autogen in editable version

[Vidit-Ostwal]

What happened?

I am trying to install autogen in editable version.
But it's throwing this error.

  error: subprocess-exited-with-error
  
  × Getting requirements to build editable did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1
  ╰─> [14 lines of output]
      error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['samples', 'packages', 'templates'].
      
      To avoid accidental inclusion of unwanted files or directories,
      setuptools will not proceed with this build.
      
      If you are trying to create a single distribution with multiple packages
      on purpose, you should not rely on automatic discovery.
      Instead, consider the following options:
      
      1. set up custom discovery (`find` directive with `include` or `exclude`)
      2. use a `src-layout`
      3. explicitly set `py_modules` or `packages` with a list of names
      
      To find more information, look for "package discovery" on setuptools docs.
      [end of output]

I believe this is file structuring problem.
I have never came acros this error, can someone share some resources to understand this well?

Thanks

There are multiple packages, you'll need to install each of them. It looks like you ran pip install -e . in the python dir, you need to do it in each package for example python/packages/autogen-core

Is there any other way around, to clone the autogen repo, use it in a env as well as able to modify and edit it.

What I do is use UV, see here: https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/blob/main/python/README.md#virtual-environment

This works.
Thanks @jackgerrits Closing this for now.
