You should use pyproject-build-system, which knows how to build a
project from a PEP 517 build system.

When this occurs, you can fetch from git instead.  Typically Python
packages come with test suites, and this one is no exception.

guix lint should complain about the leading determinant ("A").

Missing period, and "pure-python" is odd.  Perhaps just "This package
provides a Python PDF library [...]"
