Gentle reminder that "python packaging tools" as governed by #pypa and distributable via #pypi are solely intended to be used for packaging importable libraries and as an extension, simple "script entrypoints".
All other asset files have been explicitly declared off limits and out of scope.
`setup.py install` used to support installing other assets, and this support was deprecated and removed by the move to *.whl as the sole supported ecosystem format.

Fionauv does the same thing, referencing the pip code: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/blob/1723ed00d6e6961abcf05d09abe59aaee005a6af/crates/uv-client/src/linehaul.rs#L61-L63
#Python@stfn I think the #pypa #python GitHub publish action is a good place to start to see what needs to be done.

You'll need to use tokens instead of Trusted Publishing, as your CI is not integrated into Trusted Publishing. Twine is the usual way.

You may be able to generate & include attestations.

The blessed :octocat: GitHub Action, for publishing your :package: distribution files to PyPI, the tokenless way: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/pypi-publish - GitHub - pypa/gh-action-pypi-...
i released https://pypi.org/project/setuptools-scm/9.0.0/ today - its expected to work just the same for all users
its the last release with legacy python and legacy setuptools support
its also going to be the last release thats mostly standalone
future version will require modern setuptools and vcs-versioning - all build pipelines that still need legacy setuptools and/or old python had about half a decade now to update python tooling - its time to go modern #python #packaging #setuptools #pypa
📢 PSA: there's an effort by @karo @ https://github.com/pypa/packaging.python.org/pull/1662 to write some PyPUG documents regarding license declaration in #Python dists and #PEP 639. I think additional feedback would be useful.
Changed pages: glossary pyproject.toml sdist spec wheel spec installation spec ❓ The meaning of the license key in pyproject.toml is changed. The fact that table subkeys are deprecated is mention...
pip 24.3 has been released (*checks watch*) almost three weeks ago, but do you know what changed in this release?
If not, I have a release write-up for pip 24.3 that can fix that!
TL;DR: pip 24.3 is a small release with a truststore bugfix, error QoL improvements, and one minor deprecation of noncompliant wheel filenames (which won't affect you).
