PEP 660 issue.

[tfrum]

Running this on Python 3.11.2 in Fedora 37.

At install the -e (-editable) command is dysfunctional.

... has a 'pyproject.toml' and its build backend is missing the 'build_editable' hook. Since it does not have a 'setup.py' nor a 'setup.cfg', it cannot be installed in editable mode. Consider using a build backend that supports PEP 660.

I'm not particularly familiar with PEP 660 or PEP 517 or else I'd just diagnose it myself. Likewise this is apparently a rare enough issue that there's little to go off of. Is there a module I'm missing? I have the wheel module installed.

i have the same problem with you !lack of setup.py

[MentholG]

encountered same error

[viktara]

I had the same issue.

The version of setuptools installed on my system via apt was too new, I had to remove that and install setuptools==58 via pip.

[bigcat133]

you need to installed setuptools v62.0.0 or newer.
OR
Update pip to the latest version
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

[zhisbug]

Yeah, I saw the same problem. Please run pip install --upgrade pip. I add that into README.

Do we have an explanation for why a previous user reported that downgrading to setuptools v58 worked for them?
