Description

The tox command re-downloads zstandard-0.17.0.zip instead of testing:

===>  Testing for py38-zstandard-0.17.0
===>   py38-zstandard-0.17.0 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/python3.8 - found
GLOB sdist-make: /disk-samsung/freebsd-ports/archivers/py-zstandard/work-py38/zstandard-0.17.0/setup.py
python create: /disk-samsung/freebsd-ports/archivers/py-zstandard/work-py38/zstandard-0.17.0/.tox/python
python inst: /disk-samsung/freebsd-ports/archivers/py-zstandard/work-py38/zstandard-0.17.0/.tox/.tmp/package/1/zstandard-0.17.0.zip

The built installation should be tested.
