Basically, it should be possible to install and modify a Python module, and have that reflected in daq_app_rte.sh. It should also be possible to do this without working with any C++ repos, and thus with no subdirectories in the sourcecode directory of a work area - in other words, we shouldn't get an error if someone tries dbt-build after only modifying a Python module, as this is a legitimate use case of dbt-build.
This Issue is motivated by the discussion on PR https://github.com/DUNE-DAQ/daq-buildtools/pull/241 as well as another talk I had with Pengfei.
