Hi @jacklinke , thanks for your contribution ! I'm really not sure I want to force the usage of poetry. Correct me if I'm wrong (I've never used poetry), but this would break current installations that use pip.

Could it be possible to keep pip support along with poetry ?

I agree with @izimobil - could we keep pip support?

If you mean to keep the ability to do pip install against the repo, that still works due to the build backend:

https://github.com/jacklinke/django-rest-framework-datatables/blob/9b7bb47d280db56536f6d1caff6ac224da42b4e9/pyproject.toml#L59-L61

You can test it with:

pip install https://github.com/jacklinke/django-rest-framework-datatables/archive/add_pyproject_toml.zip

If you really don't like Poetry (which is fine, it's opinionated and not for everyone), there is an alternative to use pyproject.toml using setuptools, which you might find closer to the official standard.

To be honest, I don't know / never used Poetry, but reading the proposed pyproject.toml gives me headaches ;) Would adding something like this (copied from Django's pyproject.toml) be sufficient to address the original issue #135 ?

[build-system]
requires = ['setuptools>=40.8.0']
build-backend = 'setuptools.build_meta'

Maybe I'm getting old, but "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" comes to my mind...
