Is it possible to have editable installs when there is no setup.py file present? Last time I checked this was not possible (but I must admit it has been quite a while ago). |
@tadeboro I use editable installs on all our repos, they are critical for my workflows. They fixed the editable installs about an year ago or something like this. |
@tadeboro for as long as you're running the latest pip, you're good. They've special-cased setuptools for this to work. Meanwhile, there's also standardization work going on to make this possible across the ecosystem. |

Modern python packaging no longer requires a setup.py. While we kept it for compatibility reasons we no longer need it.
