orbipatch 2022.3.6.1

silly project named after a niche math thing

This example follows the guidelines in the request for testing in order to test a minimal example. It is probably not useful as additional testing data: people have tested minimal examples.

It does, however, show how this looks in practice, at least for a simple package. After cloning the repository, build with

$ python -m build
...

Note the lack of any “boilerplate” files other than:

• The README (you are reading it right now)

• pyproject.toml

In principle, the README itself could also be embedded into pyproject.toml. However, having a README at the top helps GitHub (and most other version control servers) display a nice explanation when people see the project in a browser.

A few notes:

The authors field needs to be carefully formatted:

authors = [{name = "Moshe Zadka", email = "[e-mail]"}]

It is a TOML list of objects (the equivalent to Python dicts) with the keys:

• name

• email

The project.urls section treats the key Home-Page as a special case, using it as the Home-Page metadata. All other keys are used as project_urls metadata.
