* Description     : Python packaging operations including PEP-517 support
* Programming Lang: Python

The pipcl package provides Python build backend operations (including PEP
517 support), for use by a setup.py script.

 - Designed to help build complex Python extension packages.
 - Can also be used to build simple pure-python packages.
 - Works on Linux, Windows, MacOS and OpenBSD.
 - Is a python module, not a framework, so does not impose any restrictions
on usage.
 - Can be used with any external build system by running commands, for
example with subprocess.run() or enhanced wrapper pipcl.run().

The intention is to allow a setup.py script to use the full power of Python
to do everything that is specific to the package,
without having to worry about generic Python packaging issues such wheel
formats etc
