This tutorial guides readers through setting up a Python project named `snakesay`, leveraging the `pyproject.toml` file for configuration. The project's structure follows a conventional pattern, facilitating easier maintenance and organization. It discusses two layout styles: a basic structure and a recommended `src` layout, which explicit locates source code to reduce potential testing issues. The tutorial delves into the contents of the `pyproject.toml`, detailing how build requirements and project metadata are defined to streamline project management and dependencies as the project evolves.
The structure of the example project follows a popular pattern for Python projects, enhancing maintainability and clarity with a clear separation between project components.
Using a src layout in Python projects provides explicit organization for source code and helps to mitigate complex issues during testing.
This tutorial emphasizes the importance of the pyproject.toml file, which acts as the foundation for project configuration and dependency management.
The [build-system] table in pyproject.toml specifies build requirements, ensuring the necessary packages are available for project compilation.
