Building of local directories is now done in place. Previously pip did copy the
|
|
local directory tree to a temporary location before building. That approach had
|
|
a number of drawbacks, among which performance issues, as well as various
|
|
issues arising when the python project directory depends on its parent
|
|
directory (such as the presence of a VCS directory). The user visible effect of
|
|
this change is that secondary build artifacts, if any, may therefore be created
|
|
in the local directory, whereas before they were created in a temporary copy of
|
|
the directory and then deleted. This notably includes the ``build`` and
|
|
``.egg-info`` directories in the case of the setuptools build backend.
