Most people either hand-write a setup.py, or crib one from someone else. Either
way, this usually results in not using the most recent features that can make
the job of a distro easier, such as putting the static parts in setup.cfg.
This is a kind of linter for packaging, that can suggest changes to your configuration in {setup.py, setup.cfg, pyproject.toml} for easier consumption by others.
A related project is honesty, whose job it is to make sure that your bdists appear built from the same revision with the same contents as your sdists are.
opine [-a] /path/to/root
This will run all suggestions and print a sequence of diffs. If you want to
apply the changes use -a.
- Move tox.ini to setup.cfg
- Move coverage.ini to setup.cfg
- Move static config from setup.py to setup.cfg
