Modernize packaging a bit

Open bluetech opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Adding pyproject.toml allows the package to be installed using PEP517 instead of legacy setup.py install method. At least pip says so in a warning when installing without the wheel package available.

Change setup.py to setup.cfg (using a script[0]) because setup.py is out of fashion these days.

Remove MANIFEST.ini since LICENSE is implied[1].

Changed from setup.cfg to pyproject.toml, seems to work. Added it in a separate commit just in case.

~~One final change can be done to eliminate the tool.setuptools py-modules section by moving from a single module mypy_extensions.py to a package, then setuptools can auto-discover it.~~ Actually seems to work with the module as well, so just removed it.
