You don't need to create pyproject.toml, and IIAC you shouldn't (rather suggest one upstream if needed). But note that setup.py serves two purposes: - "script": `python setup.py build` etc, which is deprecated - "config": contains config "similar to pyproject.toml", not deprecated You should be able to cd to the dir containing setup.py and call the macro there. You can do this multiple times for multiple subdirs. It becomes more interesting when upstream calls `python setup.py build` as part of their all target in make. Work in progress ... (for notmuch).
