Python developers prefer not to run the installation script each time they do a modification to their code. This can be achieved by creating a symlink to the original source code in installation. This enables to only run the install script once and then the latest code will always be available for execution.
This option is off by default as it is not a good installation practice (couples distribution code to the source code). However it can be enabled in the config file by those who prefer to use it. Requires CMake 3.22 or greater, or otherwise it will provide a warning informing that it can not be used.
