PEP 660 (build_editable) support by sbidoul · Pull Request #8212 · pypa/pip (original) (raw)

@dholth cool. I can't seem to make it work though. I've tried an editable install of rsalette in a python 3.8 venv and I get (in verbose mode)

I don't quite understand the unexpected keyword argument 'strict_timestamps' error... it is as if it was running on another python version, although the log says it starts from the python in my venv. And the other issue is that this error is masked, resulting in an invalid wheel (it might be pip not detecting it, not sure yet).
