In the section Installation, it gives an example of doing a local editable installation, and in the section Development and Testing, it gives an example of installing the package for development situations. Although it's true that the instructions as given will work after a fashion, the approach of using pip install -e is both more common for editable installs, and also arguably leads to more intuitive behavior when developing Python packages.

This suggested change is optional; no offense taken if you decide not to apply it.

It looks like it's just a difference in line endings. No content change.

Based on my local copy of the file, it looks like the original did not have a carriage return at the end of the line.
