Occasional incomplete installs (from pip)

[Matt Wilkie]

Note to self/world for possible future troubleshooting. Sometimes the python environment gets into a state where Leo (or presumably any python package) is incompletely (un)installed. The fix is simple, just `pip install -e .` again (and then uninstall if that's the true intention). I'm unsure of the recipe that lands here but it's happened to me several times. I'm bothering to make a note about it now because I've hunch this will crop up again later somewhere as a bonafide bug/issue.

Please create an issue for this, if you haven't done so.  Issues are Leo's permanent memory.

yabut too many Opens are demoralizing. If it happens once and seems hard to reproduce or too localized I just note it. When I run into it again it's time to make a case out of it. ;-)
