Comment(by rgommers):

 Can you explain why this doesn't work with -e / --editable? This is the
 recommended way for install from local sources or local git repo. If that
 doesn't work it's kind of a problem, plus it makes it difficult to test
 the change. What did you do, push to your github account and then install
 it from there?

 pip not having a normal interface for installing from local files /
 checkout is completely ridiculous by the way.
