Why do we need to do git submodules for installing a normal python package?

i.e. this step is confusing:

If that's your first checkout, you'll also have to update the git submodules, usually using git submodule update --init --recursive.

it shouldn't be needed to install a python package.

and even if we do -- can the instruction be clear what we need to do? Do we need to clone the repo? If yes where is the suggested place? Do we do then cd into the git repo and submodule it? where does pip install . go after that?
