The gen_protos.py will be called while building a sdist, wheel or an editable installation. We use pytest through the tox package and during the tox build process, gen_protos.py is called during either wheel or sdist creation.
For building sdist, the process now changed from `python setup.py sdist` to `python -m build --sdist` and editable installation still happens with `pip install -e .` and rest of the development process follows more or less the same old behavior.
