+I've found it to be incredibly helpful to emulate having a library installed on my system rather than depending on my local directory path to pick up my file edits. To do this in a python project, we need to add the `--editable` flag to a pip install.
+
+First uninstall whatever version of your `library` you have.
+```bash
+pip uninstall library
+```
+
+Then in your folder with the `setup.py` run the following command
+```bash
+pip install --editable .
+```
+
+This will then create a symlink from your site-packages directory to the directory in which your code lives.
+
+Once you're ready to install it formally,
+```bash
+pip uninstall library
+pip install .
+```
+
+Distribute it,
+```bash
+pip wheel .
+```

 I've found it to be incredibly helpful to emulate having a library installed on my system rather than depending on my local directory path to pick up my file edits. To do this in a python project where you've defined a `setup.py`, you can specify the command `develop`.
