Description

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

Issue

Please add a short documentation to explain the section

[tool.poetry.build]
script = "build.py"
generate-setup-file = true

when building a C Extension.
The braking changes from 1.2 to 1.3 destroyed some of my configurations and repairing them was more anoying that it could have been with a proper documention of this section.

Possibly a short exert out of this?

I really like what you all are doing for the python comunity!

Start by reviewing the [tool.poetry.build] section in pyproject.toml and the linked Poetry_C_Extension_Example pyproject.toml. Document the script and generate-setup-file options in the context of building a C extension, including the relevant 1.2-to-1.3 configuration change; the issue is done when the section is understandable without consulting external examples.
