Description

As a follow up to #598 , we identified an action item to update the build_a_package.sh script to install the built Python package before we publish it to PyPi just to be sure that everything is working correctly.

Specifically, we want to add a step to download the package before we publish it to PyPi here:

Research direction

Start with .github/workflows/publish-a-package.yml at lines 24-31 and the build_a_package.sh script, then trace how the package is built and published. Done means the release workflow installs the downloaded package successfully before publishing it to PyPI.
