""" To understand this project's build structure - This project uses setuptools, so it is declared as the build system in the pyproject.toml file - We use as much as possible `setup.cfg` to store the information so that it can be read by other tools such as `tox` and `nox`. So `setup.py` contains **almost nothing** (see below) This philosophy was found after trying all other possible combinations in other projects :) A reference project that was inspiring to make this move : https://github.com/Kinto/kinto/blob/master/setup.cfg See also: https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#configuring-setup-using-setup-cfg-files https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/distributing.html https://github.com/pypa/sampleproject """ from setuptools import setup # (1) check required versions (from https://medium.com/@daveshawley/safely-using-setup-cfg-for-metadata-1babbe54c108) import pkg_resources pkg_resources.require("setuptools>=39.2") pkg_resources.require("setuptools_scm") # (2) Generate download url using git version from setuptools_scm import get_version # noqa: E402 URL = "https://github.com/smarie/python-makefun" DOWNLOAD_URL = URL + "/tarball/" + get_version() # Setuptools_scm target version file to generate args = { "write_to": "src/makefun/_version.py", } # Use the 'version_file_template' directive if possible to avoid type hints and annotations (python <3.8) from packaging.version import Version setuptools_scm_version = pkg_resources.get_distribution("setuptools_scm").version if Version(setuptools_scm_version) >= Version('6'): # template_arg_name = "version_file_template" if Version(setuptools_scm_version) >= Version('8.1') else "write_to_template" # print(Version(setuptools_scm_version)) # print(template_arg_name) # Note that it was named 'write_to_template' earlier.
