 I found this issue while investigating
 https://trac.macports.org/ticket/64425.

 When source code of Python project contains a script called `build.py` or
 a submodule called `build` it will override global installation of the
 {{{build}}} tool. This is when MacPorts invokes {{{/path/to/python -m
 build ...}}} local script/module will be invoked instead of intended tool.
 In such cases pep517 build will always fail.

 Issue begun after https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/commit/e94c8a1 and so far I found that it affects {{{py-pendulum}}}
 port.
