PEP517

[Alessandro-Barbieri]

Could you move the buildsystem to PEP517?

[cdent]

The current build system works, so without compelling reasons to change I'd be reluctant to do so. What are the compelling reasons?

I'm not doubting that there are benefits and reasons, so mostly this is a question of "why?"

I'd happily welcome and review a pull request that made the change, if you're interested.

Because I'm packaging for gentoo overlay ::guru and now non PEP517 build are considered legacy
see https://projects.gentoo.org/python/guide/distutils.html#the-pep-517-and-legacy-modes

[cdent]

Like I said "I'd happily welcome and review a pull request that made the change". If it needs to wait on me it may be a while.

Note that python -m build will build wsgi-intercept just fine. Is that sufficient to be PEP517 compliant according to gentoo?
