 * `installFlags ? []`: A list of strings. Arguments to be passed to `pip install`. To pass options to `python setup.py install`, use `--install-option`. E.g., `installFlags=["--install-option='--cpp_implementation'"]`.
 * `format ? "setuptools"`: Format of the source. Valid options are `"setuptools"`, `"pyproject"`, `"flit"`, `"wheel"`, and `"other"`. `"setuptools"` is for when the source has a `setup.py` and `setuptools` is used to build a wheel, `flit`, in case `flit` should be used to build a wheel, and `wheel` in case a wheel is provided. Use `other` when a custom `buildPhase` and/or `installPhase` is needed.
 * `makeWrapperArgs ? []`: A list of strings. Arguments to be passed to `makeWrapper`, which wraps generated binaries. By default, the arguments to `makeWrapper` set `PATH` and `PYTHONPATH` environment variables before calling the binary. Additional arguments here can allow a developer to set environment variables which will be available when the binary is run. For example, `makeWrapperArgs = ["--set FOO BAR" "--set BAZ QUX"]`.
