Issue
After upgrading to poetry 1.4.0, I get errors installing local editable deps that require setuptools <64. setuptools 64 changed how editable deps are installed, breaking static analysis tools. It's limited to some perhaps esoteric cases (namespace packages where you don't want to include the namespace itself... which you usually don't).
The error is Backend operation failed: HookMissing('build_editable'), which presumably was added in setuptools 64.
In the grand scheme of setuptools versions, 64 is relatively new (Aug 2022) and think I've occasionally seen much older pins. That said, I don't particularly care if poetry supports the older setuptools versions (I'm slowly migrating away from a structure causing this issue anyway), but it would be good to have the setuptools>64 requirement for built packages documented (at least in the CHANGELOGs) and report a better error, if not some installer fallback.
Here's the sanitized output:
$ poetry install

Note: This error originates from the build backend, and is likely not a problem with poetry but with my-package (7.1.0 /Users/jacobhayes/src/github.com/my-org/my-repo/packages/my-package) not supporting PEP 517 builds. You can verify this by running 'pip wheel --use-pep517 "my-package @ file:///Users/jacobhayes/src/github.com/my-org/my-repo/packages/my-package ; python_version >= "3.7""'.
[...] # Same for other editable installsTrying the command (which was improperly quoted with the python_version) to check whether it is a poetry or build issue succeeds:
$ pip wheel --use-pep517 'my-package @ file:///Users/jacobhayes/src/github.com/my-org/my-repo/packages/my-package ; python_version >= "3.7"'
