By default tox will recreate the sdist, for the main package under test, 
every time. Are you sure this isn't happening, or is this particular 
setup.py for a dependency rather than the main package?

(I use tox for mock and run tests in between minor edits without bumping 
the version number. It builds a fresh sdist and installs it into the 
virtualenvironments every time.)

All the best,
