Indeed, the project is incorrectly assuming that all python packages are installed to the same directory, which is not always the case – PYTHONPATH environment variable can be used.
Potentially interesting for this project is mesonpep517 which I am packaging and testing now. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/72784
It basically offers Meson as a PEP 517 compliant build backend to build a wheel, which is then used as usual.
That said, I have stumbled upon yet another issue:

Since it is called at build time, it also needs to be in nativeBuildInputs. Python packages pass strictDeps = true to mkDerivation by default, so they separate runtime and build time dependencies.
Thanks! That made it built. Another issue though: it’s complaining about a missing pwquality

For testing purpose I continued this package in my NUR repository. You can try the package nur.repos.onny.passwordsafe if you want I’ve packaged version 3.99.2. Still not sure which features might be missing or bugs still present.
I’ve actually done this for a similar application lollypop
