> By way of example, here's a project that's completely PEP 517 and PEP 518 compatible without needing a setup.py or setup.cfg[2]. Everything goes through pyproject.toml.
Using pyproject.toml with pip / flit still has many rough edges such as pip being unable to install deps locally for development or not generating lock files. Poetry is way more mature IMO.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean, but installing dependencies locally for development (meaning development extras) and generating lock files (via pep freeze) both work for me.
