    Hello @lewismc there was a code discrepancy in merging this pull request with the main branch. I think this was due to some tech error while fetching the updated pull request and this might be the reason why the code was not running as expected in your local machine. The code merged is not the same code from the pull request that I have updated above. I apologise beforehand if the mistake was from my side. I have sent a new pull request #269 please have a look at it and verify it.
    Thanks

> Having sat with people recently watching them install climate, it has become obvious that the default behavior for the easy_install scripts should be invoking the -e flag.
> The script specifically say
> {code}
> It is recommended that you pass -e when running this script. If you don't, parts
> of this installation will pollute your global Python install. If you're unsure,
> pass -e just to be safe!
> {code}
> A user never sees this message though unless they know that
>  * there is a -h flag to print it
>  * it is too late and that they have already messed up their environment!
