The goal of this issue is to make all metadata fields conformant to the Python package core metadata specification.
Questions/Ideas
Also, one should investigate whether the pyproject.toml file could completely supersede the setup.py file
A particular attention point here is the usage of versioneer as a way of calculating the current package version, based on its state in the Git repository.
Solving this issue would allow e.g. pip show khiops to show correct and complete information regarding the khiops pure Python package.
