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.
