In particular I install most of my packages from source these days by cd'ing into the source and $ pip install . That's all it takes. Works with -e too. Erik

I can't seem to find a way to pip install from a source dir -- not a tarball.
Why would I want to do that?
In this case, it's because I'm trying to build conda packages for python packages that have compiled C code, and are not using setuptools.
On Windows, you need to use setuptools in order to use the "MS compiler for Python 2.7". So a straight "setup.py build" fails.
But pip injects setuptools, so that "pip install" does work. But conda has already unpacked the source distribution, so I'd like to point pip at that, and can't find a way to do that (I could have sworn it was possible...)
Do I have to build an sdist, and then point pip at that??
