It's just that with "numpy" added, but sure. @Brett: I also just noticed reading the example above that you're using single-quotes for strings in the TOML instead of double-quote strings, which is a bit odd -- single quote strings in TOML are the same as raw strings in Python, which does work for this case but probably isn't the example we want to set. >> Rejected Ideas >> ============== >> >> Other semantic version key names >> -------------------------------- >> >> Names other than ``semantics-version`` were considered to represent >> the version of semantics that the configuration file was written for. >> Both ``configuration-version`` and ``metadata-version`` were both >> considered, but were rejected due to how people may confuse the >> key as representing a version of the files contents instead of the >> version of semantics that the file is interpreted under. > > Would you be open to using schema-version rather than > semantic-version, and then formally defining the format via jsonschema > and/or JSL [1]? I kinda like the semantics-version name (schema = structure, semantics = structure + interpretation), and I'm not sure what the name of that key has to do with defining a json schema, but anyway, here's a first-pass json schema :-) https://gist.github.com/njsmith/89021cd9ef1a6724579229de164d02d2 (NOTE that that schema's written to check that a file matches the currently defined spec, and should NOT be used to validate real pyproject.toml files, because the additionalProperties: false keys will cause it to error out on future backwards-compatible changes.) -n -- Nathaniel J.
