OK, it's almost ready except:

• It can't work on python 3.6 because having setuptools being able to read metadata from pyproject.toml requires setuptools > 61.2, which does not support python 3.6 anymore.
• I need to figure out what is conftest.py doing with the package_root

• I need to figure out what is conftest.py doing with the package_root

This is unrelated to your PR and I fixed it with #9129

Wow. It works indeed. Thank you so much.

Sure. A vague estimation of when it would become envisageable ?

To merge after #9210, I hope.

watch-out: this PR is intended to be squash-merged

So... this is a good example of a nice little pr that's a bit stalled. I don't really have any extra bandwidth to keep this moving, given existing commitments. Should we be having a discussion about getting the project into jazzband.co so that we've got a lower barrier of entry for new maintainers?

Hey, that's a very interesting decision that is (way) beyond the scope of my humble little PR. Maybe let's open a dedicated issue ou GitHub discussion?

A couple small notes based on recent pyproject.toml changes that could be addressed while waiting for an official

Thanks for the reviews, I've heard about these changes but forgot about them. Applied your suggestions.

With 3.16.1 now out of the way, I'd like to get this one merged and released on 3.16.2, either on its own or with very minor other changes. 3.17 will have a number of other more significant changes which means we'll keep postponing this.

Thoughts?

As October is approaching, we've started to receive contributions to update our Python support to add 3.14 and drop 3.9:

• Add support for Python 3.14 #9780
• Drop support for Python 3.9 #9781

Would be nice to get this across the line, and get these 2 other PRs to update the trove classifiers in the new file. Will leave few days for other maintainers to do a final review and unless there are any objections, will merge it.

Thanks for the contribution and (the patience)! 🎉
