@doctoryes @macdiesel @cpennington @jcdyer @dan-f @clintonb @feanil I think I've talked with each of you about bits of this. Feedback welcome: how can I make this clearer?

[jcdyer]

Presumably letting VERSION=0.0 reach master would be a Bad Idea(TM), as it would force everyone to reinstall every single time. Maybe include a note to this effect?

[doctoryes]

Excellent guidance! 👍

[macdiesel]

I like this a lot.

@jcdyer good points, I've added a bit to deal with both of them.

@nedbat I am also curious about the "don't use -e" rule.

[nedbat]

@dan-f I resisted putting in all the reasons. -e lets us be lazy and get our setup.py files wrong. We'd rather not get them wrong. Forbidding -e means that when we write the setup.py, it will get used fully, and we will find out about problems sooner.
