install package from github repository

[C. Ng]

Hi,

I have cloned someone's repository on my local drive using git command:
git clone http://github.com/xxx.git

But I don't find any setup.py file. How do I install the package xxx? So that I can 'import xxx' in my python script.

Many thanks.

Does the package have installation instructions? Look for a README or similar.

Ok, that seems to work... I modified from another package.
I don't understand how setup.py does it exactly, but got it done anyways.
