> Dataclass for pyproject.toml `[project]` metadata with support for \[core >
> metadata\] generation

This project does not implement the parsing of `pyproject.toml` containing
pyproject.toml `[project]` metadata.

Instead, given a Python data structure representing pyproject.toml `[project]`
metadata (already parsed), it will validate this input and generate a PEP
643-compliant metadata file (e.g. `PKG-INFO`).

## Usage

After
[installing `pyproject-metadata`](https://pypi.org/project/pyproject-metadata/),
you can use it as a library in your scripts and programs:

```python
from pyproject_metadata import StandardMetadata

parsed_pyproject = {...}  # you can use parsers like `tomli` to obtain this dict
metadata = StandardMetadata.from_pyproject(parsed_pyproject, allow_extra_keys=False)
# Same fields as defined in pyproject.toml [project] metadata
print(metadata.entrypoints)

pkg_info = metadata.as_rfc822()
print(str(pkg_info))  # core metadata
```

## SPDX licenses (METADATA 2.4+)

If `project.license` is a string or `project.license-files` is present, then
METADATA 2.4+ will be used. A user is expected to validate and normalize
`metadata.license` with an SPDX validation tool, such as the one being added to
`packaging`. Add something like this (requires packaging 24.2+):

```python
if isinstance(metadata.license, str):
    metadata.license = packaging.licenses.canonicalize_license_expression(
        metadata.license
    )
```

A backend is also expected to copy entries from `project.license_files`, which
are paths relative to the project directory, into the `dist-info/licenses`
folder, preserving the original source structure.

## Dynamic Metadata (METADATA 2.2+)

Pyproject-metadata supports dynamic metadata. To use it, specify your METADATA
fields in `dynamic_metadata`. If you want to convert `pyproject.toml` field
names to METADATA field(s), use
`pyproject_metadata.pyproject_to_metadata("field-name")`, which will return a
frozenset of metadata names that are touched by that field.

## Adding extra fields

You can add extra fields to the Message returned by `to_rfc822()`, as long as
they are valid metadata entries.

## Collecting multiple errors

You can use the `all_errors` argument to `from_pyproject` to show all errors in
the metadata parse at once, instead of raising an exception on the first one.
The exception type will be `pyproject_metadata.errors.ExceptionGroup` (which is
just `ExceptionGroup` on Python 3.11+).

## Validating extra fields

By default, a warning (`pyproject_metadata.errors.ExtraKeyWarning`) will be
issued for extra fields at the project table. You can pass `allow_extra_keys=`
to either avoid the check (`True`) or hard error (`False`). If you want to
detect extra keys, you can get them with `pyproject_metadata.extra_top_level`
and `pyproject_metadata.extra_build_system`. It is recommended that build
systems only warn on failures with these extra keys.

## Validating classifiers

If you want to validate classifiers, then install the `trove_classifiers`
library (the canonical source for classifiers), and run:

```python
import trove_classifiers

metadata_classifieres = {
    c for c in metadata.classifiers if not c.startswith("Private ::")
}
invalid_classifiers = set(metadata.classifiers) - trove_classifiers.classifiers

# Also the deprecated dict if you want it
dep_names = set(metadata.classifiers) & set(trove_classifiers.deprecated_classifiers)
deprecated_classifiers = {
    k: trove_classifiers.deprecated_classifiers[k] for k in dep_names
}
```

If you are writing a build backend, you should not validate classifiers with a
`Private ::` prefix; these are only restricted for upload to PyPI (such as
`Private :: Do Not Upload`).

Since classifiers are a moving target, it is probably best for build backends
(which may be shipped by third party distributors like Debian or Fedora) to
either ignore or have optional classifier validation.
