It would be nice if pip-installing a project directory in editable mode didn't require writing to the project directory. Is there a fundamental reason it needs to?
I'd speculate that no one was annoyed enough to fix it. You could manually create the egg-info (setup.py egg_info --egg-base=somewhere) and do the linking manually. I'm preeeety sure my suggestion will raise some eyebrows here :) Thanks, -- Ionel Cristian Mărieș, http://blog.ionelmc.ro
