pip -e installed mintpy.__file__ = None when there is a mintpy folder in current dir #882
Description
Description of the problem
For mintpy installed in the editable mode using pip, when there is a folder named mintpy in the current data directory, Python would misidentify the mintpy folder as the module location; and result in a TypeError while running, as shown in the example commands below. Any idea how to fix this?
This only happens when mintpy is installed via pip install -e option; while regular pip install and conda install versions work fine.
