Use the [project] section in pyproject.toml according to PEP-621 and PEP-631

Feature Request

PEP621 (Storing project metadata in pyproject.toml) and PEP631 (Dependency specification in pyproject.toml based on PEP 508) define a clear way how metadata and dependencies should be stored. Both of them have the status “accepted”. It would be good if poetry would use that.

For example, I’ve noticed that poetry init generates a pretty similar pyproject.toml, but puts the metadata in a poetry-specific section.

Just FYI, Setuptools has added experimental support in pypa/setuptools#1688 and publicly announced it.

AFAIK, this will leave Poetry as the only major modern build backend lacking support for the standard.
