You are right, what you listed above are also the things done by the
'develop' command of my current implementation. In addition, as I replied
earlier, we can also add a .distinfo-link file  more than the .pth file.

The wiki page has been edited to note what the develop command will<br>
write to the file system. I&#39;ll restate it here as well...<br>
<br>
The develop command writes three pieces of information to the filesystem:<br>
 1. It calls upon the build action(s) to build the package relative to<br>
the package&#39;s root directory.<br>
 2. It calls the [build|install]_distinfo action to write the<br>
.dist-info metadata inside the build directory. (see also Issue 12279)<br>
 3. It adds the build directory&#39;s path to a .pth 
file.<br></blockquote><div><br>You are right, what you listed above are also

In addition, as I replied earlier, we can also add a .distinfo-link file  more 
than the .pth file.<br>
