By default, if debhelper sees a setup.py file, it sets the buildsystem to python_distutils, which *only* supports Python 2. It is difficult to change such behavior because (a) python_distutils buildsystem is part of Debhelper itself, while pybuild isn't (it is even written in a different language) and (b) this will probably break some packages. -- Dmitry Shachnev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
