Hey folks, I’m struggling to understand how to define a

python_distribution

that pulls the package name and version from

pyproject.toml

— this slack mentions this in a few places, and there’s an open issue that seems to cover the same thing, but I don’t know if there’s some recommended way to use

pyproject.toml

as the authoritative source for the package being built — does anyone have advice?

To clarify, you are not using the Pants-generated setup.py but instead you want to build distributions off a manually written pyproject.toml?

That is correct; though I hadn’t realised that a pants-generated

setup.py

was preferred! (I’m using poetry to manage my dependencies, both external and internal, and that felt like it required a pyproject.toml, and I proceeded from there!)

It's not necessarily preferred. That code is very old, but it does do some useful things.

Yeah, that makes sense, thanksd! I’m still getting my head around a lot of this, I really appreciate your help 😊
