Hi all,

Since this merge landed, the builds for several Python packages in my personal channel broke.  Any package using pyproject-build-system for a Python project using setuptools seems to be affected.  This python-manhole package[1] is an example.  It's  about as simple as they can get, with no inputs or custom build steps.  It's failing with:

------------------------------------------------------------
starting phase `build'
Using 'setuptools.build_meta' to build wheels, auto-detected '#f', override '#f'.
Prepending '[]' to sys.path, auto-detected '#f', override '#f'.

------------------------------------------------------------

Since it's complaining about setuptools, I thought I might need to add that to the native-inputs.  Alas, that fails with a different error:

------------------------------------------------------------
starting phase `build'
Using 'setuptools.build_meta' to build wheels, auto-detected '#f', override '#f'.
Prepending '[]' to sys.path, auto-detected '#f', override '#f'.

   or: -c --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: -c --help-commands
   or: -c cmd --help

error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'
------------------------------------------------------------

Is there somewhere I can find out how to fix these packages for the updated pyproject-build-system?  Should they be getting switched to python-build-system?

Noting also that the PyPI module for `guix import' hardcodes the pyproject-build-system, so it will generate unbuildable definitions for any Python project which uses setuptools.

Thanks,
