Hi Drew (2023.01.07_07:56:43_-0400) I think this is something worth a try in early trixie. It'll likely be a change of default mode, and require packages to explicitly the request the setuptools mode.

Both temporary directories don't need to exist at the same time. Look at this example of building two PEP-517 modules from the same source package: https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/dh-python/-/blob/master/tests/tpb07/debian/rules In this case, they are in separate source directories, but the same thing should work for separate builds with different configuration. Each build should end up in its own .pybuild directory, even if temporary directories are shared. SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
