[21:28:04] <ronny> jaraco: my basic suggestion is for setuptools to support loading the distribution options from the [tool.setuptools.setup_options] section in pyproject.toml
[21:29:08] <ronny> jaraco: bascially if the setup call would take a look at pyproject.toml before constructing the distribution object, nothing internal would change
[21:30:03] <ronny> jaraco: alternatively there could also be something like setup_from_toml, which always checks setup requires (and will need setuptools in there)#
