Adopting TOML 1.1?

Can we consider wrapping up this thread soonish? Judging by the repeating suggestions, points, and opinions it has become too onerous to fully keep in mind, so it’s no longer serving the purpose I intended.

There are some concrete actions people have suggested:

  • A coordination plan between tools, and update user guide to reflect that
  • Updates to the specification with a PEP
  • Reqyest, or submit PRs to, tomli or the standard library to support specific features to make migration easier
  • Request, or submit PRs, to popular linters to warn when using 1.1 specific syntax in Python packaging toml files

Beyond a notice here they are probably all worthy of their own DPO thread or discussion in where ever is natural for specific feature requests or PRs.

Also I’d previously requested the standard library to hold off on upgrading to TOML 1.1, but as there are no spec clarifications of concrete decisions coming out of this thread I’ve withdrawn my request.
