Description
I understand the rationale for this feature ("meson-python extends editable installs to package components that require a compilation step such as extension modules"), but at the moment it is proving inconvenient for me.
Assuming I'm willing to take responsibility for rebuilding/reinstalling the package when compilation is required, is there some way I can disable the rebuild-on-import feature for my package, but still use Python's editable installs otherwise?
