I created this PR to get some traction on #892 .
This PR keeps the current behavior, but lets us configure the current "special-case" in rez-pip that always copies dist-info files to the rez-package root.
By setting
pip_install_override_dist_info_remap = False
, dist-info files will end up alongside the python package as some tools expect.In my opinion the better solution would be to just change the default behavior and copy the files to where they are expected.
