Dataclass for PEP 621 metadata with support for core metadata generation
This project does not implement the parsing of pyproject.toml
containing PEP 621 metadata.
Instead, given a Python data structure representing PEP 621 metadata (already
parsed), it will validate this input and generate a PEP 643-compliant metadata
file (e.g. PKG-INFO).
After installing pyproject-metadata,
you can use it as a library in your scripts and programs:
from pyproject_metadata import StandardMetadata
parsed_pyproject = { ... } # you can use parsers like `tomli` to obtain this dict
metadata = StandardMetadata.from_pyproject(parsed_pyproject)
print(metadata.entrypoints) # same fields as defined in PEP 621
pkg_info = metadata.as_rfc822()
print(str(pkg_info)) # core metadata
