Description
Discussed in https://github.com/orgs/python-poetry/discussions/7612
Originally posted by Josverl March 6, 2023
It seems trivial, but I'd prefer to be able to configure poetry to only build wheels
rather than need to remember that all builds should be run as:
poetry build --format=wheel
I can't seem to find a way to specify this - neither in documentation nor through experimentation

Research direction
Start by reading discussion 7612 and the current poetry build --format=wheel behavior. Inspect how build settings are represented in pyproject.toml and documented, then define the configuration entry and verify that builds use it without requiring the command-line flag.
