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.
