Create a compatibility `pep517` wrapper package #160

Closed KOLANICH closed 1 year ago

KOLANICH commented 1 year ago

The package was renamed, but too a lot of packages depend on pep517.

So it is proposed

  1. create a pep517 branch in this repo
  2. within this branch create a pep517 package depending on pyproject_hooks. The package should contain nothing more than aliases to the renamed API and deprecation warnings instructing people to migrate. The ReadMe file should also contain migration instructions.
  3. publish it on pypi.

I think I'm happy enough with the current situation - we've documented that pep517 is deprecated, and made a legacy branch to represent it, but we haven't added warnings. If projects are already happy with pep517 does, it's not a problem for them to carry on using it, and if/when they're not happy, it should be easy for them to switch over.

It causes bloat for 2 copies of the same thing and violates the DRY principle.

Sorry, it just doesn't seem worth getting excited about.
