I am new to python and I have come across the following command and its description:
>Now to be able to run the project you will need to install it and its >dependencies.
>python setup.py develop
I looked up what the 'develop' argument does and found:
>Extra commands:
> develop install package in 'development mode'
I searched for a description of 'development mode' but could not find a good description.
Can anyone (very briefly) explain to me, in a sentence or two:
what 'development mode' is?
how 'development mode' differs from other 'modes'?
why/when I would use 'development mode'?
what 'development mode' does or does not allow me to do?
Many thanks in advance.
