`pip install -e .` is supported and is how we install the library for tests.

-Note on Editable Installs / Develop Mode
-========================================
-
-- As mentioned previously, using ``setuptools`` in `develop mode`_
-  or a ``pip`` `editable install`_ is not possible with this
-  library. This is because this library uses `namespace packages`_.
-  For context see `Issue #2316`_ and the relevant `PyPA issue`_.
-
-  Since ``editable`` / ``develop`` mode can't be used, packages
-  need to be installed directly. Hence your changes to the source
-  tree don't get incorporated into the **already installed**
-  package.
