I recently uploaded my first Python package to PyPI. The relevant parts of pyproject.toml are defined as follows (full file available here): [build-system] requires = ["setuptools>=61.0"] build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" [project] name = "jutility" version = "0.0.4" license = {text = "MIT License"} authors = [ {name = "Jake Levi", email = "jakelevi@hotmail.co.uk"}, ] # ... [project.urls] homepage = "https://github.com/jakelevi1996/jutility" After installing this package with the command python3 -m pip install -U jutility, I run the command python3 -m pip show jutility, and get the following output: Name: jutility Version: 0.0.4 Summary: Collection of Python utilities intended to be useful for machine learning research and experiments Home-page: Author: Author-email: Jake Levi <jakelevi@hotmail.co.uk> License: MIT License Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages Requires: matplotlib, numpy, Pillow Required-by: Notably, the Home-page and Author fields are empty in the output from pip show, although they seem to be defined in pyproject.toml. How should I change pyproject.toml to make these fields display properly in the pip show output? Version-wise, I built and uploaded these packages to PyPI on my Windows 10 PC with Python 3.7.6, but I also tried downloading and installing this package and displaying the pip show output from a Google Colab notebook with Python 3.10.11. The package works completely as expected in the Colab notebook, but I get the same pip show output with empty Home-page and Author fields. I'd just like to know what I need to change in order to get these fields to display properly. Continue reading...
