Steps to replicate

use pipenv -e to install local package with setup.py file. this is the package i'm trying to install.
https://github.com/marc-fez/libsanctions.git

pip -e works with this package.

[techalchemy]

Thanks for the report, @marc-fez - this is a known issue and there is a patch in #958 coming soon. In the meantime if you are using absolute paths you can work around this by simply changing them to file:// URIs so in this case pipenv install -e file:///home/marc/opencompliance/opencompliance/scrapers/libsanctions/

[techalchemy]

I’m going to go ahead and close this as we already have several issues tracking this bug (see #939 #960 #936 etc)

[techalchemy]

This is now resolved in #958
