Top 15 Python Build Projects

The pyproject.toml serves as a central place for your project's configuration. It tells the build frontend tool which backend is needed to build your package. Some available options include Hatchling, Setuptools, Flit, or PDM. Below is an example of a common build backend.

Project mention: Go 1.24's go tool is one of the best additions to the ecosystem in years | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-27

One other alternative I know of that's multi-language is Pants(https://www.pantsbuild.org/), which has support for packages in several languages, and an "ad-hoc" mode which lets you build packages with a custom tool if it isn't officially supported. They've added support for quite a few new tools/languages lately, and seem to be very much an active project.

It seems like Espressif are in the same situation as Pi w/r/t PlatformIO[1]. As an outsider, it sounds like PlatformIO was trying to extract a very large annual payment from RPi and Espressif, and that was after the initial support was added in, and some of the community started adopting it.
It's a weird situation, but I think PlatformIO built up a dominant position by supporting all these platforms and accepting community contributions to do so, then tried extracting value from the manufacturers directly after the fact, blocking further community PRs that would add new board revisions or fix bugs.
