    [wkrd] Use pip install --editable --user · a4303921
    Xavier Thompson authored
    Prior to pip 21.1, pip install --editable --target fails because it
    results in wrong parameters being passed to setup.py develop by pip.
    
    Prior to setuptools 45.2.0, both pip install --editable --target and
    pip install --editable --prefix fail because the temporary install
    directory used internally by pip is not added to PYTHONPATH prior
    to pip calling setup.py develop. In later version setuptools emits a
    warning instead of an error.
    
    Temporarily override PYTHONUSERBASE to point to the target directory,
    so as to emulate --prefix=<dir> with PYTHONUSERBASE=<dir> and --user.
    
    This is needed for Python2 because pip 21.1 and setuptools 45.2.0 are
    both Python3 only.
