Not that I know of. It appears that a makefile would be just for
people who expect to invoke 'make' when they get a Python package.
OTOH, existence of a makefile may confuse people that expect to run
setup.py, and wonder what the makefile is for. Please note that a
makefile will also confuse people that expect to run "configure" and
wonder why there is no autoconf support.

So my recommendation: Leave out the makefile, and include an INSTALL
file saying that setup.py is *the* driver for everything.
