Description
The logic in add2virtualenv of adding paths to the front of sys.path breaks installing packages in the virtualenv that use a PEP517 build. In preparing the build environment pip tries to determine the necessary sys.path using a "sitecustomize.py" written in pip's _internal/build_env.py, which gets confused with paths not being added to the end of sys.path. The result is that the lib-dynload path of the Python environment gets removed from sys.path and pip install fails with a traceback like this
# pip install .
