setup.cfg
Domain: Python Packaging
🎯 Motivation
A static configuration file that supplements or replaces setup.py. It keeps metadata declarative so you don’t need code to describe your package.
📋 Concrete Example
A setup.cfg [metadata] section holds name = mypkg and version = 1.0, while [options] lists packages = find:.
🔗 Analogy
setup.cfg is like a form you fill in at the doctor’s office — structured fields instead of freehand writing.
