@benoitc can I have a CI run please 🙂 ?

[benoitc]

Thanks for the patch. can you describe what's supported in this PR?

Hello Benoit.
No new features, just a migration from old setup.py to the new pyproject.toml.
Why is better?

• pyproject.toml is a python standard, setup.py is not (it's a de facto standard but now it's not anymore since there is now an official standard)
• pyproject.toml is declarative, no more custom python code running for packaging
• pyproject.toml allows the project to be handled by any python package manager, would you one move away from distutils
• pyproject.toml has been designated as the future of packaging by the PyPA.

I am available if you have questions.
