Dependencies on PEP517 Python packages

Question

On PKGBUILD with PEP517 template like python-thinc, since in package() the pip install command is run, I guess it will install all the dependencies specified in pyproject.toml file. At this point, is there a sense to still specify dependencies in depends variable of PKGBUILD if they are already installed by pip install?

--no-deps is specified, which ignores dependencies of package. It would be much cleaner IMO to install packages python-installer instead of PIP.

package() {
    cd $_name-$pkgver
    python -m installer --destdir="$pkgdir" dist/*.whl
}

AUR package does it this way. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=python-thinc
