The pep517
package on PyPI has been renamed to pyproject-hooks
.
Along with this rename, the functionality that had equivalents in build
has been removed from this package. And, as the name suggests, the project is now meant to provide a shared implementation of calling code for pyproject.toml-based build backend hooks.
For those curious about the specifics around the rename:
- The GitHub repository has been renamed. Going to the old repository will redirect users to the new repository name automatically.
- The documentation has been revamped as well [docs]. The
pep517
documentation is still available at the same location as before, with an extra pointer to the replacement projects. - The source code for the
pep517
project is available on thelegacy
branch of the repository.
Thanks to @pradyunsg for doing lots of the work around this rename - including writing this announcement.
