Hi, I'm very confused about the 'editable' parameter for the pip module [1]. It defaults to True and is described as "Pass the editable flag for versioning URLs." My best guess is that this corresponds to the --editable option for 'pip install' [2], however:
- The pip install --editable option effectively enables Setuptools' "develop mode" which links to module code instead of building and installing it - I'm not sure how that relates to the description of passing the editable flag for versioning URLs. - "Editable" installs are not the default for Pip's package installations, so a default enablement of this option in the Ansible pip module seems to conflict with the default disablement in the underlying tool. Can this option be expounded on? Does the module's 'editable' parameter relate to the pip install option, and is the naming confusing or is the description just odd? Why is the parameter True by default?
