This is presumably because your setup.py script uses distutils rather
than setuptools: distutils doesn't have the develop command.

That's because pip "injects setuptools" so that when you import
distutils in your setup.py your actually importing a monkey-patched
setuptools. You may as well import setuptools in your setup.py but
either way the recommended invocation is "pip install -e .".
