The Packaging and Distributing Projects guide is quite outdated. It uses
setup.py
and nopyproject.toml
. It's also out of sync with the sample project.I'd like to update it, but this is going to be difficult to review if I do it in a single sweeping PR, so here's a start, to be continued later. This PR removes the descriptions of
setup()
arguments that have better equivalents in[project]
. Where these descriptions had more details than the Writing pyproject.toml guide, I have moved the details there.📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://python-packaging-user-guide--1450.org.readthedocs.build/en/1450/
