See [https://github.com/django/django/pull/13994#issuecomment-859975234 thread on the original PR].

Nick Pope [https://github.com/django/django/pull/13994#issuecomment-870861490 proposes three possible options]:

1. The documentation approach -- using `--no-build-isolation` with `pip install --editable --user` will work.
2. Add the following hack to setup.py in Django:
{{{ #!python
import site
import sys
site.ENABLE_USER_SITE = '--user' in sys.argv[1:]
}}}
3. Revert the change that added build-system isolation until there is a blessed solution for editable installs with PEP 517.
