Re: textproc/py-pyphen: Change build to pep517

Hi Kurt,


You can change any port to pep517 except in very few cases when this 
would introduce a circular dependency.
pep517 is now a default way to build python packages because distutils 
is now deprecated in Python.
In the case of textproc/py-pyphen - it used the ad-hoc setup.py that 
wasn't registering it properly, because this was added before pep517 was 
available.

Hope this helps.


Best,
Yuri
