Hi,

I'm currently installing development eggs into the current directory
(the checkout directory) like this:

  PYTHONPATH=.:$PYTHONPATH \
     python setup.py develop --install-dir . --script-dir .

Since this has problems when re-running (see issue40), I wonder whether
this is the correct use of the 'develop' egg. Any hints?

It's definitely not the correct use, especially since, depending on your layout, it could potentially overwrite your scripts. develop is intended for installing to a directory that's normally *already on* sys.path. Why are you doing that?
