It was reported in issue #6634 that when building a wheel using (PEP 517), a traceback displayed when setup.py clean failed was unneeded.

Excerpt:

  Running `pyo3-pack build -i python --no-sdist --bindings=cffi`
  Error: Command '['pyo3-pack', 'build', '-i', 'python', '--no-sdist', '--bindings=cffi']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

This looks like a bug, unless I'm missing something.

You don't have to explain what happened here, but it'd be nice if you do. 😛

I closed this after creating it because when I looked at the code, it seemed like the traceback only displays when verbose mode is enabled, in which case it doesn't really seem like an issue (it's verbose mode). But I'm not 100% sure, so I'll leave it open for completeness for now.
