We can move much of the static packaging metadata from
setup.py
to a declarative package configuration file,setup.cfg
.This is happening in many Python projects (and pure Python projects can have a minimal or no
setup.py
).A benefit for us is we can get to this metadata without scrolling to the end of 1,000 lines of logic, making it more visible and easier to edit. If it doesn't need any logic, it's cleaner to move it out.
