Help testing experimental features in setuptools

setuptools._vendor._validate_pyproject.fastjsonschema_exceptions.JsonSchemaValueException: data.minegauler-bot must be python-entrypoint-reference - I was specifying "minegauler.cli" as an entrypoint, expecting it to do the equivalent of python -m minegauler.cli , but it seems I needed to use "minegauler.cli.__main__:main" , is this expected?

I’ve now realised this is standard with setuptools entrypoints, although I still wonder why it has to be this way.

@LewisGaul

I hit an issue with optional dependencies that I haven’t diagnosed yet, I may report back later

@LewisGaul

I was hoping packages and package_data would still be possible to specify in setup.py rather than figuring out the tool.setuptools section or adding a setup.cfg , but these seem to be ignored

These two points are no longer a problem and can be ignored - sorry for the noise
