How to reinstall my Lino developer environment after dist-upgrade

I did “pip freeze > 20250218.txt” before the dist-upgrade, but then didn’t use it because I preferred to say:

go getlino
pip install -e .
getlino configure

I had a series of SyntaxWarning “invalid escape sequence” in a few files because my Python is now Python 12 (it was 3.10 before). There is a beautiful discussion on python.org about why this is good.

getlino should maybe call pip install -e .[test]
