Running pipx install --editable may result in errors No binaries associated with package

[skoneka]

Hi, this is an issue I encountered with pipx 0.12.3.3 installed through pip (anaconda).
When installing a package as editable pipx fails in my case:
# pipx install --spec=. package_in_dev --editable --force

No binaries associated with package package_in_dev. Try again with '--include-deps' to include binaries of dependent packages.

After that package_in_dev.egg-info directory is left laying around. Subsequent pipx runs without --editable (pipx install --spec=. package_in_dev --force) will fail with error No binaries associated with package package_in_dev. Try again with '--include-deps' to include binaries of dependent packages. until egg-info directory is deleted.

Can you run this with the --verbose flag and share the output?

Closing because of age and no response from OP. Reopen if you still have issues with a recent version of pipx.
