Python Packages: pep517 build tool
----------------------------------

The Python world has developed new standards for building and
distributing modules. You'll often see a pyproject.toml file instead
of a setup.py that you used to get. pybuild now has support for
building these packages with the pyproject plugin. Build-Depend on
`pybuild-plugin-pyproject` to use it. See this message for details[2]
(note: at the time it was called the pep517 plugin, since renamed).
