Not installing properly on regular computers (non-circuitpython devices)

[duckythescientist]

As far as I can tell, the actual Python files for this library aren't being installed anywhere on the system when doing a pip install. I've tried this on two separate Linux desktops and in a venv. I get an adafruit_circuitpython_waveform-***.dist-info folder in my site-packages but there's no corresponding adafruit_waveform folder with any source/pyc.

duck@alura:~/test$ mkdir project-name && cd project-name
duck@alura:~/test/project-name$ python3 -m venv .venv
duck@alura:~/test/project-name$ source .venv/bin/activate
[.venv]duck@alura:~/test/project-name$ pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-waveform

Hi @duckythescientist, looks like the problem is in the pyproject.toml file, so the contents on PyPI won't install correctly. PR #24 fixes this, but if you want the fix in the meantime, you can download the source code and make this change. You can then use pip install . in the root repository folder to install the library.

Of course, once the PR is merged and uploaded to PyPI, you can use pip install --upgrade adafruit-circuitpython-waveform to update to the latest :)

@duckythescientist You're good to upgrade!
