Problem
I am packaging a python app with setuptools, typically running `python setup.py install` And it packages everything into an egg and installs it. The problem is I want it to be installed as editable, so I can go into site-packages and make changes to the app source code. I haven't yet found out how to do it yet. On my previous work environment, running `python setup.py install` would copy the source folder to the site-packages, but this time it doesn't do it.
