Re: [bitbake-devel] [PATCH 1/2] pyproject.toml: add setuptools to requires; fix project structure

Hi Chris,

Thanks for pointing this out!

I think it was a mistake for me to include the project and build-system
sections in pyproject.toml.  I had it in there originally to try to improve
the versioning, but we chose to implement it a different way.  It is only
needed if you intend to do packaging which is something we are trying not
to do with bitbake itself.

We have a separate pyproject.toml file for bitbake-setup, which we do want
to package for convenience.

If we remove those sections does that fix the problem you see with PyCharm?

Regards,
Rob
