Working with kodi only plugins

[ktaragorn]

The documentation implies that to test "scripts", we

1. add "script" to addons.xml for it to work in kodi
2. pip install the "script", to test in CLI

But this is unnecessarily 2 steps and leads to issues with kodi only modules/"scripts"

1. Out of sync script.module.parsedom version in pip is ancient.
2. Not present in pip script.module.urlresolver isnt present in pip

Is there a recommended solution for this? Is it possible to wrap around scripts just like xbmc code is being?

It's a long time since I had anything to do with pip, and I've never had anything to do with dependencies for an xbmcswift plugin, but you need to specify the dependencies of your script. See https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#requirements-files
