So I wanted to add a function to query2 but for whatever reason the old query2_functions.py file just kept getting installed and the symlinking done when DEV=true (pip3 --editable) didn't seem to work.

I discovered what happens is the following:

1. aw-core gets installed, as it should
2. aw-client gets installed, has aw-core as a dependency, uninstalls the "right" version of aw-core and installs the wrong version from git

The same probably happens with aw-server for both aw-client & aw-core. This issue is therefore likely to have far-reaching consequences for builds in CI and elsewhere.

This is due to the giving --upgrade to pip when installing (which, surprisingly, also happily does downgrades), removing the option is something I want to avoid if I can.

Options

1. Simply don't install an older version from git if a newer version is already installed, but I don't know if this is possible in some easy way.
2. Add a flag similar to DEV=true that enables the pip --upgrade flag.
3. Install aw-client and aw-core last in the build process (this is ugly, but would probably work)
