Once I run everything, I can see that the package itself is installed correctly, but none of its dependencies is. I also cannot find anything about any attempts to install dependencies in the logs. I do see the explicit ’setup.py install’ call in the logs and if I manually call the install script on the machine where I do my buildroot builds then all the dependencies do get installed, so I’m not sure why buildroot doesn’t...

You'll have to manually add all required Python packages into your
package's Config.in file. See package/python-flask/Config.in for the
reference.
