flit
Domain: Python Packaging
🎯 Motivation
A lightweight build backend for simple pure-Python packages. It reads metadata from your __init__.py or pyproject.toml and uploads to PyPI.
📋 Concrete Example
With build-backend = "flit_core.buildapi", a docstring in mypkg/__init__.py provides the package description.
🔗 Analogy
Flit is a pocket knife — minimal blades, perfect when you only need to cut string and tape.
