Note: work around for me was as follows ([source](https://stackoverflow.com/a/37218925/8477566)): ``` sudo apt install texlive-latex-extra cm-super dvipng ```

Is there a way I can check whether the editable install is using .pth files that contain file paths rather than executable lines? If so I can check in both...
