Hi, I'd like to make another push for PEP 517, which would make it possible to build wheels from a source tree with other build tools, without needing setup.py. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517/ Last time this was discussed we made a couple of minor changes to the PEP, but we didn't want to accept another packaging related PEP until PEP 518 was implemented in pip. I'm pleased to say that that implementation has just been merged: https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/4144 . I have an implementation of a build backend according to the current PEP 517 spec in a pull request on flit: https://github.com/takluyver/flit/pull/77/files#diff-6df5630df9568322a453f03... Thanks, Thomas
