Package: dh-python
Version: 4.20200925
Followup-For: Bug #970524
Control: affects -1 src:h5py
This issue is preventing h5py 3.0.0 from building successfully.
pybuild with distutils generates a .pydistutils.cfg in the .pybuild
build dirs for h5py.
The .pydistutils.cfg file contains
allow_hosts=None
which triggers the error message
I: pybuild base:217: /usr/bin/python3 setup.py build

"3.9 3.8" --dir build-h5py_mpi returned exit code 13
during the pybuild build step.
For h5py it can be worked around by setting H5PY_SETUP_REQUIRES=0, but
that is not a general solution, and it ignores configuration
declarations of required packages, which is not desirable (we want to
detect at buildtime if any dependency is missing).
