Comment:

 @jmroot: upstream's opinion seems to be "don't use {{{python setup.py
 install}}}, instead use a PEP-517/PEP-518 compliant builder".

 That discussion has come up before I think and at some point you added the
 `python.pep517` option to the python PG. I am not sure whether that will
 solve this issue here (will try later in the weekend, for now I just
 patched in the `version` field to {{{setup.py}}}).

 What is your view on a long-term solution for MacPorts with respect to
 installing Python packages?
