User documentation on import hook-based editable installs (PEP 660) #3407

Closed
@debonte

Description

@debonte

Add user documentation somewhere explaining:

  • Why import hooks are a problem for static analysis tools
  • The downside of opting out of import hooks -- your editable install may not match your real install as closely as it could.
  • How to out-out of import hooks in common build backends. Graham started that here. We might need to move it for discoverability.
