Description

Hi,
Love the idea. Needs a bit more documentation perhaps?
I got as far as
$ ./gradlew build
and then this failed after a bit:

Task :installProject FAILED
Install PyLookup2019-09 ............................................. [STARTING]
Obtaining file:///home/mike/software%20projects/eclipse-workspace/PyLookup2019-09
No files/directories in /home/mike/software projects/eclipse-workspace/PyLookup2019-09 (from PKG-INFO)

"No files/directories"... what can that mean? There was a very basic starter file (__init__.py). Also can you explain what you mean by a "standard python project"? Does setup.cfg have to contain something specific perhaps?
Also, what might it mean by "(from PKG-INFO)"?
Thanks

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with ./gradlew build, then inspect setup.cfg, the starter init.py, and the generated PKG-INFO reference. Document what a standard Python project must contain and explain the “No files/directories” and “from PKG-INFO” messages; done means a new user can understand and address this setup failure.
