03-packaging-installing: Add tip about `pip install -e`

[tobyhodges]

The material in episode 2 could be improved by mentioning (maybe in a callout box) pip install -e, which allows the latest version of a module/package under active development to be imported and used without the need to re-install after every set of changes. (See line 351 of the etherpad from CC@Home2020.)

Hello, I am interested in putting some work into this lesson. I made a few minor changes (#70 ) addressing this issue in particular. I was wondering if I could make some larger scale changes, including to the content of the example code for clarity, but would love to talk to whomever is maintaining this now, thanks!

Hi Nick @nkicg6 that's great to hear! @brownsarahm has been leading the development of the lesson up to now and is still the maintainer. I'll leave it to Sarah to follow up with you about the lesson but, if you have any questions about lesson/exercise design, working with the lesson template, etc please feel free to ping me.

@nkicg6 that's great. See #65 about the content of the example code. I'm happy to discuss anything here or on the carpentries slack.

Hi,

is this issue still standing? I reckon #70 closes it.

Thanks, Vini
