PEP 517 and PEP 621 support on Dunfell?

PEP 517 and PEP 621 support on Dunfell?

Hi,

more and more Python projects are removing their setup.py and setup.cfg and
switching to pyproject.toml. That unfortunately means you can't install
those packages on Yocto Dunfell.

Would it be reasonable to backport support for this to Dunfell? I see that
the changes done for this support was actually kindof big, and as usual
updating setuptools will probably cause some old package version to fail to
install instead.

Just throwing out the question to hear what others think about it!

Regards
//Ernst

The changes were kind of big, and I do worry that they’d break stuff that is expected to work.

A “mixin” layer which just contains the new classes and recipes would be a much better approach for Dunfell.

Oh I didn't see your reply, Gmail threw it in the spam folder.

I made a prototype here if anyone's interested:

Ah, I wasn't aware of https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-lts-mixins/ .
Not sure how that would work exactly with commit access etc.

Anyway I made further updates to
https://github.com/ernstp/meta-setuptools-backport , looking pretty good
now IMHO.
