• your build.sh will probably run a packages setup.py,
  or use pip to get a wheel file.
• Don't do easy install,
  .pth files that trigger site.py sys.path manipulation don't work well,
  in fact conda-build may now check to make sure you don't do that.
• Likewise, no egg files, see google group egg packages
• When you use pip, you don't want it to trigger installing package dependencies like numpy, you may want to do

    like in this example (tensorflow build script, use pip to get pkg from a wheel file on the internet)

With setup.py, want

• python setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --record=record.txt
  like in this example (keras, no build.sh, simple enough install you can do from meta.yaml)
