I mostly use distools to build python modules but I have a couple projects where there is code generation, building static libs, &etc… and I find it easier to use cmake to just pop out a python module. Cmake can also be convinced to make distro packages, like rpms and debs, without too much trouble — not sure how to do that in any other build system.
