Suppor building a python module for multiple versions from a single template is also possible. The `python3-pep517` build style provides means to build python packages that provide a build-system definition compliant with [PEP 517](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517/) without a traditional -`setup.py` script. +`setup.py` script. The `python3-pep517` build style does not provide a specific build backend, so +packages will need to add an appropriate backend provider to `hostmakedepends`.
