Abstract
The new pyproject.toml file gains in popularity. Together with it, some changed to existing packaging tools are happening, especially to setuptools and distutils. The first one is moving away from setup.py support, and the other one was removed from stdlib and merged into the setuptools itself.
But that change isn’t scary or bad! Come to my poster and I’ll show you how you can migrate away from setup.py while still using setuptools like nothing ever changed!
