pipx is impacted by current dir?

[cs01]

Oh wow that is surprising. No pipx does not read anything local. That command should be operating entirely out of a temporary directory.

Can you re-run with

pipx --verbose ipython

Thanks for reporting!

Do you have any environment variables or startup scripts that might be running when Python or pip are invoked?

No!

I re-ran it with isort instead of ipython (same warning appears):

Just like in #56, I removed the egg-info directory and the warning does not appear anymore. As you said I think it's related to pip and not pipx 🙂 Feel free to close both issues!

[cs01]

I wonder if it makes sense for pipx to display a warning indicating that the directory name will take precedence over the PyPI package name.

[pawamoy]

I don't know how much control you have over pip's internals, but yes, if you can detect this type of situation and display a warning it would be great. Otherwise a simple note in the README/docs/wiki about what happens when there is an *.egg-info directory in the current dir could be nice as well.
