Package: dh-python
Version: 4.20201102+nmu1
Severity: important

Increasingly upstream packages have been moving to the PEP518 build
format, for which a pyproject.toml file is provided, and no setup.py

pybuild fails to handle such packages. In some cases a trivial
setup.py can be patched in, or an old one from before upstream updated
to PEP518.  But this does not work for all packages (fails badly with
opendrop, for instance, where scons is invoked).

pybuild needs to start supporting the PEP518 build method.

Too late for bullseye, but I'd like to consider this a serious (FTBFS)
bug post-bullseye.
