ppsetuptools => pyproject setuptools

A drop in replacement for python setuptools that uses pyproject.toml files for python 3.6+ projects

Usage

To install run pip install ppsetuptools in your project.

Place your project settings in the [project] table of your pyproject.toml. Also ensure that ppsetuptools is included in your [build-system] table in the requires list.

Replace setuptools import in your setup.py with an import of ppsetuptools. ppsetuptools exposes all functions from setuptools, and in addition will map your pyproject.toml data to the call to setuptools.setup for you (via PEP-621 compliant entries).

Example pyproject.toml

[project]
name = 'my_package'
project_name = 'my_package'
version = '1.0.0'
readme = 'README.md'
install_requires = [
    'setuptools',
    'toml'
]
include_package_data = true

[build-system]
requires = [
    'setuptools >= 40.8.0',
    'wheel >= 0.35.1',
    'toml >= 0.10.1'
]
build-backend = 'setuptools.build_meta'

Example setup.py

from ppsetuptools import setup

setup()

File locations

As of now, the library attempts to find a pyproject.toml file in the same directory as the python file that called it. So if calling directly from setup.py, ensure that your pyproject.toml file is in the same directory.

As well any file references (such as the readme) will attempt to be followed from this location.

E.g., if including a redme = 'README.md' value, ppsetuptools will look for README.md in the same directory as the file that called it.

Function support

As of now, ppsetuptools does not support calculated values within the pyproject.toml file. If calculated values are needed, ppsetuptools will combine the args passed to the setup call with the values in the pyproject.toml file, so you may call setup like so, and it will still use your pyproject.toml values in addition to the passed values.

from ppsetuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    find_packages(exclude=['tests'])
)
