How to use modern Python packaging and setuptools plugins together – EBUT Laboratory

Using the setuptools plugin with modern Python packaging allows for experimentation with automation.

Python packaging has evolved a lot. The latest (“beta”) uses one file, pyproject.toml, to control the package.

A minimal pyproject.toml might look like this:

[build-system]
requires = [“setuptools”]
build-backend = “setuptools.build_meta”

[project]
name = “cool_project”
version = “1.0.0”
