Pip package working locally but not if i install it via pipenv into another environment

Question

I created a pypi package for an api to get the lessons from my school and uploaded it to pypi but when I install it, it doesn't get recognized. It works just fine locally when.

I have tried deleting some lines from the startup.py like modules: [] but it doesn't seem to change anything and still works locally just fine

setup.py

from setuptools import setup

with open("README.md", "r") as fh:
  long_description = fh.read()

setup(
  name="zermelo.py",
  version="1.0.0",
  license="MIT",
  url="https://github.com/wouter173/zermelo.py",

  description="Zermelo api wrapper library for python.",
  long_description=long_description,
  long_description_content_type="text/markdown",

  package_dir={"zermelo": "zermelo"},
  install_requires=["requests>=2.17.0"],

  classifiers=[
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.7",
    "Operating System :: OS Independent",
    "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
    "Development Status :: 5 - Production/Stable",
  ]
)

Below is my file hierarchy:

The source code is put into a __init__ file like this:

from .client import Client

and in the .client file which is client.py I have a class called Client with some functions but I don't think this has anything to do with it as it works just fine locally

I try to import the package into a project like this:

from zermelo import Client

Which works locally but not in a pipenv.

These are the commands I use to upload the package to pypi:

python setup.py sdist
python setup.py bdist_wheel sdist
twine upload dist/*

and this is how I use my pipenv:

pipenv --python 3.7
pipenv install zermelo.py
pipenv shell
python
>>> from zermelo import Client

But again that does not work and I have no idea why.

When I import it in pipenv:

from zermelo import Client

It gives returns an Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zermelo'

I have tried putting different names and capitalizing zermelo but nothing works to import Client from zermelo but locally

from zermelo import Client

works the way I want to it returns the Client from the init .py file.

Your setup.py lists nothing to install. You must use packages=<a list of packages> or py_modules=<a list of .py modules> .
