chore: move metadata to pyproject.toml

[SauravMaheshkar]

pyproject.toml is the new standard for packaging python packages (first introduced in PEP 518 and later expanded in PEP 517, PEP 621 and PEP 660). This PR proposes to switch the metadata declaration from the legacy setup.cfg in favour of pyproject.toml. This would also allow for a better minimal project structure.

@nkoep Request for Review

Hey, thanks a lot for the PR! I've been meaning to get rid of the setup.cfg file as well. I just added a bunch of pedantic style comments. If you don't mind, could you also change all indents to 2 spaces for consistency? 🙇

Hello @nkoep thanks a lot for the feedback. I addressed the requested changes in edda1b2. Looking forward to contributing more 😄

Thanks for the swift updates! LGTM!

@nkoep Do you think we should try and add a pip install -U pip setuptools wheel in the CI ? This repository does use the older version of setup-python in CI. I can make a quick PR to update it. Or maybe update this PR

I think this should be enough:

diff --git a/pyproject.toml b/pyproject.toml
index bcb5f7e..5f885e4 100644

Feel free to add it to this PR.

Can I add

version = "2.1.1"
