Assign it to me if you would like me to proceed with this.
I haven't been following the python packaging changes, but I don't see anything in that PEP that says setuptools is going to be deprecated or stop being supported. Did I miss that when I skimmed the doc or is that documented elsewhere?
It is simpler build/maintain a package with flit, You can do everything in setuptools (and setuptools is more powerful).
Is there some other benefit? I don't find that the packaging files change all that often. I'm not saying this is a bad idea, I just don't understand the motivation, yet.
no other benefit. close it off if you aren't interested.
The easiest way is to replace MANIFEST.in, setup.py with a pyproject.toml, build package with flit instead of setuptools and tweak python-publish.yaml to use flit instead of setuptools.
