I think it was before you joined the discussion, but editable installs came up before and have deliberately been left out of PEP 517 because of the complexities. I am very keen that we do not go back into that discussion. I particularly want to hear from Nick, Daniel, Donald and Paul on their understanding of the build_directory parameter. There were reasons why it got added, and even if those reasons no longer seem so convincing to me, it's only going to be removed again if we can reach a consensus on working without it. Thomas
