Description

I went to install qpid.messaging from source today and I did what I always do: sudo python setup.py develop

It told me:

{{{
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
or: setup.py --help-commands
or: setup.py cmd --help

error: invalid command 'develop'
}}}

The goal is to have my checkout in place while still being installed on my system path. Perhaps this is an RFE, but I feel it's a common practice so I filed it as a bug.
