Option to disable capture of stdout coming from setup.py

See original GitHub issue

When using pip for local install of a developed package with something like pip install -e ., it is sometime useful to see what is printed in setup.py.

The capture of stdout can be disabled with the verbose option but then pip is much too verbose.

It would be useful to have a way to only disable the capture of stdout coming from setup.py but without too much verbosity of pip.

IMO pip should respect the build backend’s opinion on what is considered relevant, and not step over and decide things for it. If you feel setuptools’s output is too noisy, you should lobby for setuptools to reduce the default verbosity instead.

It would be really nice to consider this issue and PR #9450 which would fix it.

The current behavior (-v triggering the output of hundreds of lines about the internal of pip / setuptools) is really annoying.
