Allow to define package source dir in pyproject.toml

See original GitHub issue

Poetry has the convention of the package title being the same as the package dir name. However, this is not always the desired behavior.

Here’s an example of a package called foliantcontrib.includes which is in fact exports foliant.preprocessors.includes module. In setup.py, package name and the names of the exported packages are independent: https://github.com/foliant-docs/foliantcontrib.includes/blob/develop/setup.py#L23.

Poetry could have an option src that would point to the source code path within the project path. By the way, this could be an alternative way to support src layout: you’d just set src: src/mypackage.
