Specify build backend and move project metadata to pyproject.toml #67

Closed mwtoews closed 1 year ago

mwtoews commented 1 year ago

This PR does two main things:

Specify a package build backend, based on setuptools and Cython (PEP 517 and PEP 518)
Move most of the static project metadata from setup.py to pyproject.toml (PEP 621), as supported by setuptools

Other minor changes:

Add README.rst to package information (currently it shows "The author of this package has not provided a project description")
Add two URLs: Homepage and Repository
Use pip install . instead of directly invoking setup.py (see Why you shouldn't invoke setup.py directly)
Run twine check --strict before upload to ensure packages looks good
Add a "test" extra install to do (e.g.): pip install -e .[test] && pytest

The last commit does the following:

Set Cython language_level=3 and regenerate core.c with the latest stable Cython version
Re-add cp39-macosx*, which appears to build OK now
Add cp311 to get Python 3.11 wheels
Skip *musllinux* since NumPy does not build these binary wheels
