Describe the problem

It only overrides setup.py install and setup.py develop. Neither of those are commands that'll run as a part of a pip install call. Further, the first installation will generate a wheel that'll be cached and the cached wheel will not do any code-execution as part of the installation.

Provide the exact sequence of commands / steps that you executed before running into the problem

python -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install wheel
.venv/bin/pip install nvidia-pyindex
