AFAIK it is impossible to do this: pip install -e foo
You need to use the repo URL up to now: pip install -e git+https://example.com/repos/foo#egg=foo AFAIK the fast/short implementation of "pip install -e foo" does not work, since pip can't access metadata of package foo without downloading the whole package. Or am I wrong - is this possible? But how cares for useless downloaded bytes? I don't care. It should be possible to download the whole package "foo", then look at the metadata which is provided by it. Take the canonical repo url, and then get the source from the repo. AFAIK there is no official way to define a "Canonical Repo URL" up to now. If I want to provide it for my custom packages. How could I do this?
