[CO] Change of ROOT_DIR

[SebGue]

Hello Pierre,

what do you think about a change of the "root_dir" of pyleecan to ..\XYZ\pyleecan instead of ..\XYZ ?
Therefore all imports have to be corrected, but on the otherhand its enable the user to rename the pyleecan folder without breaking the program.

Best regards, Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

Indeed that would be handy to be be able to rename the main pyleecan folder (on our side its already creating some confusion!). Maybe we can extend this thought about how pyleecan can be imported in another software. For instance, how should we organized the import if one day we go to pip ?

Best regards,
Pierre

Hello Sebastian, hello Pierre,

First of all, it could be great that users can install Pyleecan with pip. To do so, I think that we would need to reorganize the repository by moving the code into a pyleecan folder and to let general file such that README, LICENSE, and requirements at the root. We would also need to write some setup files as explained in this tutorial. To be able to run the GUI, we would need to add a __main__.py file to parse a command :

python -m pyleecan run_GUI 

What do you thing about it ?

To be able to rename pyleecan folder, I think that we could try to switch from absolute to relative imports, I can try to do it soon.

Best regards,
Cédric
