• Information is stored in pyproject.toml (setup.py is not used anymore.)
• A src folder is used for the package sources.
• The following files are used for the package building:
  • pyproject.toml: see pyproject.toml.
  • Important: Follow the instructions from https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/pyproject_config.html for including data files (like *.csv, *.tar, etc.). These files can be specified in the following MANIFEST file:
