* Package name : pep517 Version : 0.7.0 Upstream Author : Thomas Kluyver <tho...@kluyver.me.uk> * URL : https://pypi.org/project/pep517/ * License : Expat Programming Lang: Python Description : Specifies a standard API for systems which build Python packages This package contains wrappers around the hooks specified by PEP 517. It provides: . - A mechanism to call the hooks in a subprocess, so they are isolated from the current process. - Fallbacks for the optional hooks, so that frontends can call the hooks without checking which are defined. - Higher-level functions which install the build dependencies into a temporary environment and build a wheel/sdist using them. . This is the Python 3 version of the package. This is needed as a dependency for newer version of Python's pip. It will be maintained in the DPMT. There is a newer version available, but 0.7.0 is the version pip specifies as a requirement, so I intend to match that as there are no other users. This is part of Debian's effort to not use vendored modules that upstream pip uses. Scott K
