chore(python): clean out Makefile
[no changelog]
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a routine cleanup of a Python package Makefile. It removes old setup.py-based build and install targets and switches the distribution target to use the modern 'uv' build tool. There is no security relevance in the diff itself.
No security action required. Treat as normal maintenance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies python/Makefile only. It replaces SETUP=$(PYTHON) setup.py with UV=uv, removes the ‘all’, ‘build’, and ‘install’ targets, removes setup.py from STYLE_TARGETS, and changes the ‘dist’ target to invoke ‘uv build’ instead of ‘setup.py sdist’ and ‘setup.py bdist_wheel’. No source code, cryptographic, or device-interfacing logic is changed.
