We use both pybuild and cmake for a couple of SIP packages: https://salsa.debian.org/3dprinting-team/libarcus However, in this case, upstream doesn't provide a setup.py at all, so cmake is used automatically. I do believe that you can force the use of cmake by adding a "--with cmake" - have you tried that?
