Migrate from a `setup.py` file to a `pyproject.toml` setup file #11

Closed armstjc closed 3 months ago

armstjc commented 3 months ago

As detailed in this article, the Python community has largely moved from using setup.py as the way to define a python project setup file, to the pyproject.toml standard: https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/pyproject_config.html

Currently, FreeSimpleGUI does not currently use the newer pyproject.toml standard. Screenshot_1

Does this project intend to move to the newer pyproject.toml standard, or does it intend to stay on the increasingly outdated setup.py standard?

The project already uses declarative metadata using setup.cfg and does not use setup.py -- the presence of the setup.py file (which is basically empty) is only to maintain compatibility with clients that don't support PEP-517 builds.
