Is there a simple way to convert setup.py to pyproject.toml

We have multiple python projects, and are considering converting them to use pyproject.toml instead of setup.py.

Is there a simple way to automate this?

pyproject.toml python-packaging setup.py setuptools

While dealing with some pyproject.toml issues, I encountered this project:

https://pypi.org/project/ini2toml/

The projects description:

This project is experimental and under active development Issue reports and contributions are very welcome. The original purpose of this project is to help migrating setup.cfg files to PEP 621, but by extension it can also be used to convert any compatible .ini/.cfg file to .toml.

While this only helps to turn .cfg/.ini files to PEP 621 .toml, there is another project that turn setup.py files into cfg files.

https://github.com/gvalkov/setuptools-py2cfg

This script helps convert existing setup.py files to setup.cfg in the format expected by setuptools.

Combining these two processes by writing a script you could potentially come up with an automated way to transform the files. I have not tried this as of yet but would be interested if you could make this idea work :)
