Conversation
Adds a packaging environment and documents its use. This should clarify how to build and install and unreleased version. Related: pypa#1609
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Not adding this part was very much conscious decision. The reason I did not add this upfront is that I'm not sure I want to support this. Why not use the sdist/wheel? I'd prefer not to support building from git 🤷♂
Going ahead I'd prefer we discuss such proposals before we create PRs.

@gaborbernat If you do not want to advertise the pip+git install approach is ok, but in that case we should at least add some fail-safe code inside setup.py to make it fail quickly when run with outdated pip. Better to fail-fast when we know there is no chance of success instead of receiving bug reports from confused users. |

Gitter? I don't follow freenode 🤷♂ |
I'm on board with that; added #1621 |
