@uranusjr can you look at the CI failure? I can't tell why the error is caused

[uranusjr]

Something’s wrong in CI, not your fault.

I think this should be a new field, since location does have a valid meaning for editables too and to avoid mixing different semantics in the same field.

[doronz88]

this is the location shown in pip list and that's the actual location from the user's point of view.
what do you suggest as the other field? i think showing an additional editable location will just make it look confusing

[sbidoul]

this is the location shown in pip list and that's the actual location from the user's point of view.

In pip list, the column title is Editable project location and is populated for editables only.
pip list -v shows an additional Location column with dist.location which is where the project metadata is (which is different from the project location for PEP 660 editables).
It is similar in pip inspect and pip list --format=json.

So in pip show, it makes sense to show a new Editable project location field.

Thanks! There are a few tests that need updating to cope with the new field.
