Description

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
  • I have searched the documentation and believe that my question is not covered.

Feature Request

In order to compile C-extensions, it is currently required to add a build script to the project directory and to pyproject.toml:

[tool.poetry]
build = "build.py"

This feature is described in #11, but not in the official Poetry documentation. So my question is whether this feature is stable. If this is the case, I would like to propose to include it in the official documentation.

Confirm whether this feature is stable; if it is, document the build.py configuration in the official documentation and verify that the resulting guidance is accurate.
