Add pyproject.toml

[SylviaDu99]

WIP: add pyproject.toml, test_toml.py; edited setup.py to avoid overwriting with pyproject.toml

target to fix: issue #256

My understanding was that we could replace setup.py entirely

My understanding was that we could replace setup.py entirely

I saw in the python documentations that setup.py could be kept, but I believe that getting rid of setup.py makes more sense. I would discuss with Anthony tomorrow about this and make changes if necessary.

Met with @SylviaDu99 today and am in agreement that setup.py should go

Resolved setup.py conflict to enable CI/CD by fetching/rebasing

Thanks for all of your work on this @SylviaDu99.

Unfortunately, if you check the actions, even though they say they pass, the check_version_number action actually fails. Additionally, we've been facing challenges getting versioning to actually work with pyproject.toml (see this issue in the -us-data repository). This is obviously something we'll need to get working. That said, I don't think there's value to each working separately to get a versioning script working.

I think there are two ways we can proceed:

• You dig deeper into getting this versioning script working: happy to hand it over to you
• We allow this PR to sit and we choose something that would be more impactful and leave the switch to pyproject.toml alone for the time being

I'd lean more toward the second, as we're already facing pyproject.toml configuration-related issues on -us-data. Curious to hear your thoughts.

I'd also favor putting things that aren't broken on hold for the moment until we stabilize the rest of the codebase. Really appreciate this work so far as it'll be a great way to modernize soon.

[SylviaDu99]

Thank you for your comments. I would also agree to move onto things that are more impactful.

Thanks guys- converting to draft since not immediately mergeable.
