This build step is awkward for a certain class of operations, when the user
does not expect the build process to occur. `pypa/pip#8387`_ describes an

expected to only download an sdist for numpy, since we do not need to check
for dependencies, and both the name and version are available by introspecting
the downloaded file name. pip, however, cannot assume the downloaded archive

This PEP also serves as the formal specification to the long-standing

contains the distribution name and version, to aid tools identifying a
