When using the python plugin, running the snapcraft build twice in a row will result in a failure to build because of a prompt from pip. Here is the output I’m getting:
$ snapcraft --debug

Here is my snapcraft.yml. I’m trying to get it working for the https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver project.

version: master

Should I report this as a bug? The only workarounds I have found are snapcraft clean joinmarket to remove the part, or entering the container and deleting the *.zip files which are already built.
