well, no. setuptools is a bit of an (ugly?) amalgamation of build tool,
install tool, etc...

we are trying to clean that up, so that setuptools is a built tool, and pip
is the install tool (and each can be replaced by other options for your
use-case).

so it would be pip that would need a post-install-hook.

Thought that's tricky too -- where would you put that code, with binary
wheels, or ???

You might look at the conda package manager -- I"m pretty sure it has a
post-install hook.

Great. That sounds as if it is perhaps the way to go then, thanks a lot.
