While it might be useful for user to be able to access +all this capabilities in a single project (such as pip_), there are several +use cases where this is not desirable. The main being custom environments +(outside PyPI_) or situations where the user does its own package management, +such as Linux distributions. + +This project aims to fit the "building packages hole" for such use-cases in +:pep:`517`/:pep:`518` workflows. + +As it is intended to be used by users that do their own package management, +we will try to keep dependencies to a minimum, in order to try make +bootstrapping easier. + +.. _pip: https://github.com/pypa/pip +.. _PyPI: https://pypi.org/ -- cgit v1.2.3
