Description

The example projects provided in the repo don't work out of the box. I was able to get them to work anyway by using this:

plugins {
  id "com.linkedin.python-sdist" version "0.3.9"
}

But when I try using the latest version it fails with errors related to "pbr" not found. Or if I try using a python 3 project I get errors related to pip not found.

I love the idea of this project but without proper documentation or even a working example I can't see how anyone other than internal linkedin developers are able to use this.

Research direction

Inspect the example projects in the repository and reproduce the reported failures using the latest plugin version and a Python 3 project. Compare the working com.linkedin.python-sdist 0.3.9 configuration with the current behavior, then confirm that the examples run out of the box without missing pbr or pip errors and document the required setup.
