We're going to need to start supporting the newer style build system in 
the medium-long term as more packages migrate away from setup.py's

The Python Team welcomes people who are interested in working on proofs

Please reach out on #freebsd-python on Libera Chat IRC and we can get 
those discussions and PoC's happening
