So what IS supposed to be used in the development workflow? The new mythical build system?
Fair question. Unfortunately, the answer is honestly that there's no simple answer - pip is not a bad option, but it's not its core use case so there are some rough edges. I'd argue that the best way to use pip is with pip install -e, but others in this thread have said that doesn't suit their workflow, which is fine. I don't know of any other really good options, though. I think it would be good to see if we can ensure pip is useful for this use case as well, all I was pointing out was that people shouldn't assume that it "should" work right now, and that changing it to work might involve some trade-offs that we don't want to make, if it compromises the core functionality of installing packages.
