I have a PEP 517 compatible backend which works with pip to install from an sdist (via an internal wheel). However there are a couple of issues...
pip swallows all output from the backend. Is there anyway for the user to see the output (builds can take several minutes)?
pip -v (or maybe -vv) should show this (plus a chunk of other stuff, unfortunately, but we don't have any finer control over what gets logged (and I'm not even sure what a good UI for something like that would look like).
It looks like the output is buffered and appears right at the end, so not good for progress messages during a lengthy build.
