Is it possible to avoid compiling the package when installing?

As the title says, is it possible to avoid compiling the package when installing?

For instance, when installing the dev optional dependencies, I would use this pip install -e '.[dev]' and it would install the dev dependencies. But it would still build and compile the package.

Ah, I see! The way I tried and seem to work was to disable mypyc by default.

[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel.hooks.mypyc]
enable-by-default = false

Then when I need the project compiled, I can use:

HATCH_BUILD_HOOK_ENABLE_MYPYC=1 pip install `.[dev]`
