  Description     : Improved build system generator for CPython C, C++, Cython and Fortran extensions

 Improved build system generator for CPython C/C++/Fortran/Cython
 extensions.
 .
 Better support is available for additional compilers, build systems,
 cross compilation, and locating dependencies and determining their
 build requirements.
 .
 The scikit-build package is fundamentally just glue between the
 setuptools Python module and CMake.


Debian Science already maintains other scikit packages and is likely
a good umbrella for this package too.
