pip install -e .

I've wasted a lot of time running "python setup.py install" before testing my changes to flask-admin. It turns out you can pip install a project as "editable", which points the install toward your local directory instead of copying where the rest of your python modules are.

To install a project as editable, navigate to the repo and run "pip install -e .".
