Package: dh-python
Version: 7.20251227
Severity: important
pybuild in dh-python 7 appears to have introduced a regression,
seen in the fenics-dolfinx build at
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=fenics-dolfinx&arch=amd64&ver=1%3A0.10.0.post5-3&stamp=1766966439&raw=0
Running the pybuild step manually with --verbose, I get extra information:

E: pybuild pybuild:537: plugin pyproject failed: cannot access local variable
'c' where it is not associated with a value
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pybuild", line 521, in main
c.dir = get_option("dir", i, version, cfg.dir)
^
UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'c' where it is not associated
with a value
So the problem is happening at line 521 in pybuild, setting c.dir but
c is evidently not defined.
l.520 has
context.copy()
which we can compare with an earlier l.477
c = context.copy()
(I gather the value set for func at l.477 is not carried forward to l.521)
Should l.520 be patched to set `c =` ?
I marked the bug severity: important but an argument could be made for
serious since it's causing FTBFS.
