Comment 6 for bug 803186

Ok, sounds like I'm in the extreme minority here, but I'll just say that you don't have to run "setup.py develop" every time you edit code. You'll only need to run it when you switch branches.

Run setup.py develop and that will be your primary Nova python package until you run 'develop' elsewhere.

To have this code in production is dangerous and unecessary in my opinion. Why risk running a different version of Nova than the one installed in production?

$ export PYTHONPATH=.

This does the exact same thing without any setup.py magic or code editing.
