it does, but most of the users of this module are accustomed to being able to run "pip install -e ." in order to get the module editable in their virtualenv, and since this module has dependencies that are also in the private repo, the issues that I alluded to (which affect private repos using artifactory which require client certs) cause trouble.

I'm still optimistic that these things will get fixed, but it's not going as smoothly as I'd hoped.
