So in summary: - NotImplementedError - Remove build_dir and specify that no modifications can be made to the source directory
On the third issue: I understand where Nathaniel is coming from in regards to sys.path. But there should at least be an option for this because of for example, numpy: numpy builds itself with it's own build system that is defined in the source directory. If you remove '' from sys.path, then numpy cannot build itself because there is no other numpy.distutils package. 2017-08-24 14:00 GMT-05:00 Thomas Kluyver <tho...@kluyver.me.uk>: > On Thu, Aug 24, 2017, at 07:30 PM, Leonardo Rochael Almeida wrote: > > It looks like a lot of trouble for a feature that is designed to solve a > problem for a very thin intersection of the Venn diagram of people who: > > a. wants to quickly iterate while hacking a package > > b. doesn't want to bother learning how to trigger the incremental build > system of that package or how to install it in editable mode. > > For better or worse, editable installs exist and don't need to be defined > by PEP 517 just to handle this case.
