## How to create an alba sub-module

Let's say a new high pressure lab has been installed at ALBA 
which requires specific software. The goal is the user can type:

```python
import alba.hplab
```

... to have access to ALBA's specific high pressure lab software.

### Preparation

In the future there might be a cookie cutter for this. For
now we have to bootstrap the project by hand:

1. create a directory called `hplab` and enter it.
2. create a directory called `alba`
3. create a `alba/__init__.py` file with a single line:

```python
__path__ = __import__('pkgutil').extend_path(__path__, __name__)
```

It is crucial that the `alba/__init__.py` has this precise contents
and no more. 

4. create a setup.py has usual. Here is a minimal version:

```python
# setup.py

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    name="alba-hplab",
    author="ALBA controls team",
    author_email="controls-software@cells.es",
    packages=find_packages(),
    description="ALBA controls HP Lab software",
    version="0.0.1"
)
```

5. create a `alba/hplab` directory. This is where you
   should put the specific code for ALBA's HP lab.

By now you should have a structure like this

```
hplab/
├── alba
│   ├── hplab
│   │   └── __init__.py
│   └── __init__.py
└── setup.py
```


That's it! If you publish your package on pypi you will
be able to install your software anywere with:

```console
pip install alba-hplab
```
