[BUG] - Pip Local Editable Packages not Manifested in JupyterLab

[shikanchen]

Describe the bug

I followed the steps outlined in the documentation to install local editable packages via pip in a Nebari conda environment. The package works as expected when used in the terminal. However, they do not seem to be accessible from the JupyterLab interface after using the approach specified in the documentation's section "Usage from Jupyter".
And I get module not found error.

Here is the link to the specific documentation: https://www.nebari.dev/docs/how-tos/develop-local-packages/

Expected behavior

The installed packages should be available for use in JupyterLab notebooks

OS and architecture in which you are running Nebari

OS: macOS Ventura 13.5.2, and Architecture: ARM64 (Apple Silicon)

How to Reproduce the problem?

I created a new user of the role group Analyst, and created a non-shared environment in conda store.
Open a terminal in JupyterLab or VS Code
Activate the environment: conda activate
Create a virtual environment (venv) in a folder of your choice: python -m venv .venv_myenv
Activate the venv: source .venv_myenv/bin/activate
Install your package via pip: pip install -e

And open a notebook using the kernel of , append the package installation folder into system path as instructed in the step of the documentation

import sys
sys.path.append('/home/<email of the user>/.venv_myenv/lib/<python version the environment uses>/site-packages/')

Command output

I'm using minipy cloned from their github page to test pip install -e in Nebari environment
