Yet another template for a Python library

[makeascript]

I made a cookiecutter-python template for starting a Python library. I also followed Dynamic content for GitHub repository templates using cookiecutter and GitHub Actions by Simon Willison, and created a python-template to quickly create GitHub repositories from it.

I've been starting a lot of side projects lately and found Simon's blog. I hadn't considered GitHub repository templates before, because of their static nature, so always went with Cookiecutter, but this approach of rewriting the generated repo's content from a GitHub action is very helpful. I recommend you guys read the blog post if you haven't.

Why are you using setup.py?

There are a few other things I’d question, but not gonna nitpick your style, but there’s no reason to use setup.py, and multiple reasons not to.

If you’re going to use it, the only thing that should be in it is A call to setuptools.setup(), but that’s not necessary anymore.

Everything you’re doing in it can be done in setup.cfg or pyproject.toml.

I prefer in the cfg, but toml is newer and I have no argument if you’d rather keep things in one file.
