From fc205302117c59f10ea61e81aea5ff546ddf757f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Garrison Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2022 04:24:50 -0400 Subject: Clarify that `pyproject.toml` config will not be removed The current documentation regarding `pyproject.toml` claims that support for using it to specify package metadata and build configuration options might be "completely removed" in a future release. However, nowadays it is clear (https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1688#issuecomment-1079706929 and #3214) that `pyproject.toml` is not going anywhere, is here to stay, and is in fact expected to be the preferred format in the future. This makes an incremental change toward that future by clarifying that `pyproject.toml` support will not be removed in a future release of setuptools. --- docs/userguide/pyproject_config.rst | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'docs/userguide/pyproject_config.rst') diff --git a/docs/userguide/pyproject_config.rst b/docs/userguide/pyproject_config.rst index 47c4511e..7b8f8104 100644 --- a/docs/userguide/pyproject_config.rst +++ b/docs/userguide/pyproject_config.rst @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ Configuring setuptools using ``pyproject.toml`` files Support for declaring :doc:`project metadata ` or configuring ``setuptools`` via ``pyproject.toml`` files is still experimental and might - change (or be removed) in future releases. + change in future releases. .. important:: For the time being, ``pip`` still might require a ``setup.py`` file -- cgit v1.2.1
