Both ;-). We had some problems with setup.py develop - namely that if you
try to use it for both Python 2 and Python 3, you can only have working
scripts with one of them. So we wrote setup.py symlink, which does
something similar, but doesn't involve setuptools, so it's easier to
understand what's going on. Our implementation is not very polished (e.g.
it may not work on Windows), but if other projects want to borrow it,
they're welcome to - the implementation is a few small classes starting
here:
