This is presumably because your setup.py script uses distutils rather than setuptools: distutils doesn't have the develop command. > Running pip install -e . does work. 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 .". -- Oscar -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
