I'm pretty sure those are completely unrelated build systems. "python"
is distutils (setup.py), and "build" is a command name, not a script.
There is a waf build type
(<http://svn.gobolinux.org/tools/trunk/Compile/Functions/BuildType_waf>),
although whether it does the right thing I don't know. It doesn't look
like MakeRecipe has any logic for detecting them so the presence of a
.py file causes it to be misdetected as python.
