You don't need setup.cfg - everything can be defined in pyproject.toml now under

[project]

. But,

python_distribution

requires

provides=

but I don't want to define

python_artifact

if all that data is in pyproject.toml. So, I see two directions this could work better: •

python_project

instead of

python_artifact

, but pull the details from pyproject.toml instead of kwargs • Pants could generate a pyproject.toml (or extend an existing one) with a

[project]

section based on the kwargs of

python_artifact
