According to setuptools documentation, setup.py develop is supposed to create the egg-link file and update easy_install.pth when installing into site-packages folder. However, in my case it's only creating the egg-link file. How does setuptools decide if it needs to update easy_install.pth?
Some more info: It works when I have setuptools 0.6c7 installed as a folder under site-packages. But when I use setuptools 0.6c9 installed as a zipped egg, it does not work.

Installing Setuptools on WindowsStep 1: Install the latest or current version of Python3 in Windows. Step 2: Now check if pip and python are correctly installed in your system using the following commands. Step 3: Upgrade pip to the latest version to avoid errors during installation.
With the latest version of setuptools, the python setup.py install command is being deprecated (see https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html for more info). It is suggested that you can just pip install . to install a package from source, but this does not compile any Cython code.
Reinstall setuptools with the command easy_install --always-unzip --upgrade setuptools. If that fixes it then the zipping was the problem.
