Replaces PR #731
Fixes #727
After a discussion on #731, we decided to heed the advice of @pganssle and allow for
setup.py installcalls. Thanks again for chiming in 👍For now we will not check for additional specific conditions which may cause problems. We'll first see what problems users run into (if any).
I decided to open a new PR since changes from the old PR would be undone/unused.
As far as I can tell, the
python setup.py installis not anymore in our documentation. However, a page with this advice is still very much live here. @mfeurer is this a known issue? I thought doc rebuilds were automatically triggered?edit: doh, looks like it is because it refers to master branch docs instead of develop. Still even the master docs should (have) indicate(d) to use pip instead.
