Create a wheel that, when installed, will make the source package 'editable'

'setup.py develop'.

   One of the mechanisms briefly mentioned in PEP 660 to implement editable installs is
   to create a separated directory inside ``build`` and use a .pth file to point to that
   directory. In the context of this file such directory is referred as
   *auxiliary build directory* or ``auxiliary_dir``.
