Clone a Python package git repository (e.g. - [https://github.com/CamDavidsonPilon/lifetimes](https://github.com/CamDavidsonPilon/lifetimes)).\r\n2.  Inside an activated environment (with `setuptools 18.5` and `Python3.4`), run `pip install -e lifetimes/`\r\n\r\nResults in:\r\n\r\n```setuptools must be installed to install from a source distribution```\r\n\r\n`conda list` shows that indeed `setuptools` is installed,\r\n\r\n```\r\n(upordown)statwonk:upordown $ conda list\r\n# packages in environment at
