Makefile? NPM? Python?

My experience is primarily with Makefiles and automake, but only for C programs.

Do you think something like this would be a good way to get started?

I'm not familiar enough with Python or Makefiles to know, but I would appreciate the help with this if you or someone else is willing to put something together. I fear that it might get complicated since many of the python features used by this project are out of date or no longer installable without an upgrade. Perhaps using a docker image or Ubuntu snap project would be better, although docker images are overkill and snaps are vendor locked.

I'm trying to install Blather again, and it's really hard because of these dependencies. This would be the occasion to upgrade all used libraries and to Python 3
