+test frameworks such as @command{pytest} and @code{nosetests}.
+
+There is a complementary @code{python-toolchain} package that comes with
+updated versions of @command{pip}, @command{setuptools} and others.
+
+The build system will eventually be merged into @var{python-build-system}
+but you are encouraged to use it for packages in the @code{guix} channel.
+Third party channels may want to wait until the API is stable (see the
+Guix manual for caveats).
+
+Despite the name, @var{pyproject-build-system} also works with the
+``legacy'' @file{setup.py} format.")))
