Packaging without setup.py
Has anyone tried to create tools that build source Python distributions ( sdist
) without setup.py
? Does Python provide this? Is it possible? Or setup.py
is it a required part of any irresistible Python archive hosted on PyPI? If so, where is the PEP for this format?

A Python package is just a bunch of Python files in a folder with possibly a file __init__.py
. It can also have subpackages, which are packages within packages.
Typically setup.py
not included in any such package.
