There was a problem hiding this comment.
I also just ran into this problem as a new user and arrived at the same solutions. By trial-and-error, as I could not find any reference that specifies the syntax of setup.cfg. There is a note “Here we provide a quick guide to understanding how setup.cfg is parsed by setuptool to ease the pain of transition” at the bottom of the page, but the actual content appears to be missing.
