Description

As things stand right now, it seems like I have to "pip install", try out pyocd, make changes to code, "pip install", try out pyocd, etc.

Is there a way to run the edited pyocd code directly from the command line without the "pip install" step?

The purpose of this is to allow me to run this under VSCode directly so things like debugging and stepping actually work. If there is a better way to run this from VSCode than trying to run from the command line, I'm happy to do that instead.

Thanks.

Research direction

Start by checking pyOCD's command-line entry point and the VSCode run or debug configuration. The issue provides no file or test locations, so first determine whether running edited source without pip install is already supported and where that workflow should be documented or improved. Done means a contributor can run and debug local pyOCD changes directly from VSCode or the command line.
