However, python could only find the sbem package but not the em_alignment package.

$ cd ..
$ python -c "import sbem"
$ python -c "import em_alignment"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'em_alignment'

Could this be related to this issue pypa/pip#7953 ?

Is this still relevant?

[aloejhb]

I don't think so. Now I can use pip install -e . and the package was running correctly.
