What does this implement/fix? Explain your changes.
Adds a note to the
developers/advanced_installation
documentation helping devs troubleshoot problems with thepip install ... --config-settings editable-verbose=true
command. Specifically, if the developer's version of pip is <23.1, they will get an error like:pip 23.1 adds support for the
--config-settings
option (see their changelog for details), so this change encourages the developer to upgrade their version of pip to 23.1 or later.Any other comments?
pip 23.1 deprecated
--build-option
and--global-option
in favor of--config-settings
. Should we mention this too?
