The current project is by default editable?

[halloleo]

When I set my project up with Poetry and I do poetry install my project script is installed and I can run it with:

poetry run myscript

So far so good. When I now change the source code to the file were the entry point myscript is defined (myscript.py) these changes get picked up immediately without another poetry install . So I assume my project is not really installed into the project's virtual environment but somehow referenced. So it is editable.

However, when I use pipx to install the project separately, the code for my script gets frozen/baked into the virtual environment.

Both is exactly what I want. I just like to ask whether I can always rely on the editable behaviour in my project.

At least on the poetry side: https://python-poetry.org/docs/basic-usage/ says
``The current project is installed in editable mode by default.''

Cool. Thanks. Makes total sense.
