setup.py -> pyproject.toml

[earth-chris]

the current setup.py approach to creating fortran extensions is not compatible with some recent PEP standards, meaning poetry will not install it from pypi. I struggled for a few hours to find a simple way to package the fortran code into a python module for execution, and I have not yet been successful. turns out it is difficult to build fortran modules using poetry.

so i settled here on just building .so files with f2py using the make fortrain target, and i'll just do this manually for the current versions of python (3.9-3.11) for the two OS I have access to (linux x86, osx 64-arm). this limits use to those systems, but hopefully the linux builds are stable enough 🤷🏻

Here's the poetry guide to build scripts: https://python-poetry.org/docs/building-extension-modules/

And a nice example for building multiple distributions via GA: https://github.com/coin-or/CyLP/blob/master/.github/workflows/cibuildwheel.yml
