Fixes #778
Following PEP 621 it is now possible to fully define the build procedure
of your package in
pyproject.toml
. Since this PEP is now wellsupported, and for example
pip
can use it, we migrate to it since itprovides a bunch of benefits:
setup.py
to install the package.utility script to make sure the
setup.json
specifies the sameversion can be removed.
MANIFEST.in
is no longer necessary. Theflit
build tool willautomatically include anything. The
pyproject.toml
has a toolsection for
flit
that excludes thetests
anddocs
folders.
