Packaging

[flywire]

close #21

[flywire]

Needs tweaking if #23 merged and README.md needs reworking.

Conflicts with version.py - see https://pragmaticnotes.hashnode.dev/exposing-the-package-version-defined-in-pyprojecttoml-as-a-version-variable

[flywire]

To set the version in pyproject.toml from version.py, you can use the following command:

pip install toml
python -m toml --generate-version version.py pyproject.toml

This matter was discussed in #17 , where I explained that I don't consider that ppxml2db is ready to be consumed by people who don't use git, etc. themselves daily. It also explains why the project is laid out like it is (simple flat directory structure), that being practicality. I have very limited time vs need to do much more development in very many areas, so would rather concentrate on those. In #17, I gave examples of things which IMHO warrant further attention after ppxml2db is available per se, progress with which might motivate further attention to things like ppxml2db packaging.

(Additionally, as explained in #23 (comment), I'm wary about dependency and novelty races, so wouldn't implement packaging based on them myself, and would think twice before adopting maintenance of such.)

Fair enough. Anyone that wants that can use my fork.
