You aren't giving enough details to provide a final answer, but my
guess is that you should replace:

$(eval $(call GENTARGETS))

by

$(eval $(generic-package))

at the end of your Python external modules .mk files.

And also, you should submit those .mk files upstream if they correspond
to publicly available Python modules.

Best regards,

Thomas
