Failure to run with fresh spras environment

[jhiemstrawisc]

I recently created a fresh spras environment (mamba env create -f environment.yml) and tried running a nearly-default config/config.yml. This generated an error about missing records:

$ snakemake --cores 4 --configfile config/config.yaml 
FileNotFoundError in file "/Users/jhiemstra/Desktop/dev/spras/spras/Snakefile", line 26:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/jhiemstra/miniforge3/envs/spras/lib/python3.11/site-packages/spras-0.6.0.dist-info/RECORD'

  File "/Users/jhiemstra/Desktop/dev/spras/spras/spras/config/revision.py", line 47, in spras_revision

I'm dug into what causes this, but I worked around it with a pip install -e . from the repo root, although I wouldn't think this should be necessary.

This may be the expected behavior. Our readme says

While the spras conda environment comes bundled with all of Python dependencies needed for spras to run, it does not yet have a working installation of spras itself. To install spras in the environment, finish by running the following from the root directory of the repository:
python -m pip install .

The two step process of creating a conda environment and then installing the package separately may be unintuitive though.
