[Bug] Development version can't be installed because of submodules linked to private repositories

[asvishnyakov]

Your contribution guide suggests to install pinecone python client from git if you want to explore a potential code change, investigate a bug, or just want to try unreleased features.

This is not possible now, because codegen has submodules linked to private repositories

Removal of codegen folder resolve an issue and allows to install from repository via pip

Thanks for bringing this to our attention @asvishnyakov - we'll take a look and add this to the roadmap, but glad you found a workaround
