Building pybind11 error. about poetry HOT 10 CLOSED

project must contain ['name'] properties

seems pretty clear?

You are using tooling that expects a PEP 621 compliant pyproject.toml, so you had better provide one.

I already have a [tool.poetry] section with a name provided. Stack overflow on poetry suggested that only one section should be provided. I've also previously tried adding a separate [project] section with name and etc defined, but it also had. It's own slew of errors.

Let me know if I am mistaken or what I should try! Thank you for the suggestion and insight!

please see PEP621

The pep you specified does require a Project section, with a note about this, what should a correct pyproject.toml for poetry look like then? As I've never come across one with a [project] section. Thank you for the response!

I cannot give a more precise answer than: please see PEP621

from poetry.

Using Poetry's init command, doesn't specifiy a [Project] section, I understand PEP621 as a resource for understanding the pyproject metadata specifications, however, PEP621 is a historical document, and even within PEP621, it does not explicitly require a [project] section to be defined, specifically if the build backend will dynamically provide the keys. From my understanding, I am using poetry-core as a build backend, but also using setup tools via generate-setup-file = true, I'm not sure what exactly I am looking for within the resource you provided. If you could provide something more specific in terms of what I am missing either in a file or a mistake I've made elsewhere, I would be very appreciative. Thank you for your guidance!

you are also using setuptools, apparently setuptools requires a pep621 pyproject.toml

nb build.py is unsupported and at your own risk / discretion #2740

from poetry.

I understand, thank you for the concise answer and fast response as always. Without using build.py or setup.py, how can one build extensions such as pybind11 with poetry? Resources I've found all point to build.py.

from poetry.

yes, but it is not supported. If you want to use a tool where maintainers do support building extensions - not poetry.
