PyQt-builder is the PEP 517 compliant build system for PyQt and projects that extend PyQt. It extends the SIP build system and uses Qt's qmake, in conjunction with make, to perform the actual compilation and installation of extension modules. PyQt-builder is actually an extension of the PEP 384-compliant SIP bindings generator and build system. In the simplest cases all that is needed is a pyproject.toml file that specifies how the bindings are to be generated. More complicated cases require additional code, typically implemented in a project.py file. PyQt-builder doesn't provide any additional command line build tools but does extend the SIP tools by providing additional command line options and options that can be specified in the pyproject.toml file. These are implemented by the pyqtbuild module which also provides an API that can be used by a project's project.py file.
