As a command line tool

$ octoprint-plugin-tool
usage: octoplugin-tool [-h] [--verbose] {to-pyproject} ...

A CLI tool to help with maintaining OctoPrint Plugins

positional arguments:
  {to-pyproject}
    to-pyproject  Migrate legacy setup.py based OctoPrint plugin to modern
                  pyproject.toml based packaging

options:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  --verbose, -v   increase logging verbosity

to-pyproject

This subcommand allows you to migrate most setup.py based OctoPrint plugins generated from OctoPrint's plugin template until June 2025 (e.g. through octoprint dev plugin:new) to more modern pyproject.toml based tooling.

Current limitations include the use of any non-string values for the various plugin_ properties, the use of plugin_additional_packages or additional_setup_parameters, or non-compliant package or identifier names.

The tool will bail if it detects any issues and give you an error indicating what's wrong.

$ octoprint-plugin-tool to-pyproject --help
usage: octoplugin-tool to-pyproject [-h] [--path PATH] [--force]
                                    [--rename-package]

options:
  -h, --help        show this help message and exit
  --path PATH       Path of the local plugin development folder to migrate, if
                    other than cwd
  --force           Force migration, even if setup.py looks wrong
  --rename-package  Automatically rename package to recommended naming scheme
