#14377 — Bug#1017959: RFP: meson-python -- Meson PEP 517 Python build backend

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-python@lists.debian.org, Jussi Pakkanen <jpakkane@gmail.com>

* Package name    : meson-python
  Version         : 0.8.1
  Upstream Author : Filipe Laíns <lains@riseup.net>
* URL             : https://github.com/FFY00/meson-python
* License         : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Meson PEP 517 Python build backend

Python build backend (PEP 517) for Meson projects.

It enables Python package authors to use Meson as the build backend
for their packages.

Meson is a build system designed to increase programmer productivity.
It does this by providing a fast, simple and easy to use interface for
modern software development tools and practices.

meson-python is required to build scipy 1.9, which has started using
meson (and mesonpy) as a build system.

Probably best maintained by the Python Packaging Team,
but Jussi Pakkanen, maintainer of the meson package, might also be
interested to maintain meson-python.

I started looking at this because I've wondered whether to use it for
dbus-python. Work in progress:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/meson-python
(not really tested yet, I don't yet have an upstream project that
needs it).

Co-maintainers welcome; Drew, would you be interested?

Hi Simon,

Scipy 1.9 is out and needs it before packaging. We are also waiting for
it to migrate some other scientific packages to meson (fabio and
pyFAI), since the numpy.distutils is deprecated in python 3.10.

Cheers

Jerome

Great you've already got it started!

For myself, I feel fully loaded with packages, would be better if I can 
step back and let others pick it up.  I can help keep an eye on it 
though as a Team Member, can do uploads when there are critical 
problems.
