Well, this has been on my mind for a long time. Such a tool could
provide at least a useful package skeleton even for software using CMake
or Autotools.

Looks like consensus among you Pythonistas has yet to be reached
regarding whether ‘pyproject.toml’ data would be a useful addition. :-)
We’ll see!

PS: I hear more and more long-time Python developers dismayed by the sad
state of packaging and code evolution in Python. In Guile land, we
say: refugees welcome! Come discover a great language and a great
community (together with their own set of problems).
