Migrate from `tox` to `nox` #631

Closed agriyakhetarpal closed 1 month ago

agriyakhetarpal commented 2 months ago

It is more of an opinionated choice because both of them are quite robust tools. Some arguments in favour of nox and how to configure it are listed the Scientific Python guides: https://learn.scientific-python.org/development/guides/tasks/#task-runners

We don't need to follow them fully, but in general, I have found them to be pretty good and reasonable guidelines :)

Note that nox provides a tox-to-nox CLI as well to ease the migration, but it isn't too difficult to do so by hand either, and it shouldn't take too long.

I might have a bias because I'm a fond user of nox 😁 so I mostly agree with all of the arguments listed here, sharing for reference: https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues/16412

Also, https://hynek.me/articles/why-i-like-nox/ is a great read!
