Did something change here? I swear I had optional deps working both ways - from pypi (pip install scons[dev]) and as an editable install (pip install -e .[dev] - which I do frequently to do quick local tests of unreleased stuff), but now only the former works, the latter fails with WARNING: scons 4.10.2 does not provide the extra 'dev'). Do I have something set up wrong?
You switched from using optional dependencies to using dependency groups but haven’t done a release since the switch.
Locally you’d use pip install -e . --group dev. You won’t be able to install the dependency group like this from PyPI. If that’s an intended use case then you need to switch back to optional dependencies.

Thanks. --group is indeed the key, and now I recall that’s what I used before (I did try to search for the right syntax for this, but I guess my queries must have been poorly formed). No idea why the PyPI case worked.
