This is correct. I mentored the student who worked on this for the
Google Summer of Code 2012; the code is mostly ready, but due to other
commitments I haven’t yet finished it.

The fourth alpha was released yesterday to let people at PyCon try out
distutils2; more alphas should follow regularly, so develop will
probably be included in a released version in March or April. You can
follow http://bugs.python.org/issue8668 to track the progress of this
feature.
BTW, I’d be interested to know how you’re using develop (you said you
“depend on it”, so I assume you’re using it in a way that you can’t
emulate with pth files or PYTHONPATH).

Ah, obviously! Thanks for replying. So PYTHONPATH works for some
limited cases, but develop will have these advantages:
- permanent
- install dependencies
- creates the dist-info directory
- more?
