SYNOPSIS
pybuild [options]
DESCRIPTION
pybuild is a Debian helper tool that builds and installs Python packages as part of the Debian packaging process. It wraps various Python build systems including setuptools, flit, poetry, and meson-python, providing a unified interface for the dh-python debhelper sequence.The tool automatically detects the appropriate build system from the source package and handles building for multiple Python versions when required. It is typically invoked indirectly through debhelper rules rather than used directly, but can be called manually for debugging packaging issues.
