Hi Fredrik,
You can do an editable install using whichever development tool you've chosen,
e.g. Poetry. The poetry docs (https://python-poetry.org/docs/basic-usage/) say
it does an editable install by default.
Currently, there isn't a standardised way for 'frontend' tools like pip to ask
for an editable install.
