Automatically try running pip install in root dir

See original GitHub issue

There are a number of packages on github that it would be useful to test with Binder. It would be great if there was a mode for automatically trying to run pip install . if a setup.py file is present

#289 implements the above proposal (thanks @GladysNalvarte!). Before merging, I’d like it if people gave it a test on repos like ipython/ipython pandas-dev/pandas, jupyter/notebook, and any others people would like to try, to see how often it seems to work.

I think it’s a good idea to take a sampling of some package repos and see how we do detecting setup.py. It may make sense to do this.

Something to try:

add setup.py to the PythonBuildPack’s detect (so a requirements.txt will be installed as well, and should be first)
never run setup.py if there’s a binder directory
