+Sample Python project
+#####################
+
+A sample Python project. Meant as an instruction on creating a modern Python
+package with just the standard Python tooling (setuptools, wheel) and without
+additional tools like `Poetry <https://python-poetry.org/>`_, `Flit
+<https://flit.pypa.io/>`_ or similar. This mainly revolves around using
+:code:`pyproject.toml` in a standard wasy as specified in `PEP 621
+<https://peps.python.org/pep-0621/>`_.
