It sounds like you're doing it right. Make changes to the source
directory, compile, then test. There are some ways to streamline this.
One is to leave a terminal window or tab open just for compiling -- then
each compile is just a matter of "up arrow, Enter".
As an emacs user, I use the "compile" command. You can replace the
default command that it runs ("make") to ("python setup.py install"). I
then bind F5 to "recompile" which saves all of my unsaved buffers, and
then reinstalls. I suspect most other programmer's editors and IDEs
have a similar feature.

Hi,
i have a question about my personal developement workflow. I wanted to
fix a bug in matplotlib, therefore i checked out the repository.
Then i have to "install" matplotlib (with setupy.py build, setup.py
install). But every time i chenged something, i have to reinstall mpl to
test my changes.
I could make my changes directly in site-packages/matplotlib, but then
it's not version-controlled and the changes must be transferred back.
This workflow seems to be suboptimal, do i miss something?
Thanks,
Maximilian
