How to preserve pip install temporary directory for error analyse?

Here I am trying to install a pip package.

While installation, pip tries to compile something.

With meson.

Meson calls cmake.

Cmake fails on a missing dependency.

Then, meson fails on the failed cmake.

Then, pip fails on the failed meson.

Then, pip deletes the temporary directory for the compilation and exits.

On this way, I can not see the meson logs, exactly what failed.

How to break this chain? I believe, pip should not deleted anything if I specify it on this way.

python-3 pip
