troml 0.2.0

Suggest new trove classifiers for modern Python packages.

troml

troml provides a list of potential classifiers that could be added to a Python package. It only supports modern Python packages that use the pyproject.toml standard.

Usage

1. Go to a directory with source code for a Python package
2. uvx troml

Specify a path

troml also accepts a path as the first argument.

uvx troml /path/to/pypyproject.toml

Supported classifiers

Python version

troml will read project.python-requires and suggest classifiers based on it.

Legacy license

troml will suggest removing the legacy license classifiers.

Dependencies

troml will suggest classifiers based on the dependencies in project.dependencies, project.dependency-groups, and tool.uv.constraint-dependencies.

Typing

troml will suggest the "Typing :: Typed" classifier based on the existence of the py.typed file in the same directory as the pyproject.toml file.

What's with the name?

• The classifiers for Python are called "Trove classifiers"
• Modern Python packages use TOML for configuration

"trove" 🤝 "TOML"

Yes, I agree, the name is a little weird.

Development

Run from source

uv run troml [PATH-TO-PYPROJECT-TOML]

Commands

• unit tests (via pytest): just test
• linting (via ruff): just lint
• type checking (via mypy): just type
• unit test coverage (via coverage.py): just coverage
