Improved build system generator for CPython C/C++/Fortran/Cython extensions.

Better support is available for additional compilers, build systems, cross
compilation, and locating dependencies and determining their build
requirements.

The **scikit-build** package is fundamentally just glue between
the ``setuptools`` Python module and `CMake <https://cmake.org/>`_.

To get started, see `this example <https://scikit-build.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#example-of-setup-py-cmakelists-txt-and-pyproject-toml>`_ and `scikit-build-sample-projects <https://github.com/scikit-build/scikit-build-sample-projects>`_.

Known Issues
------------

These issues are likely to be addressed in upcoming releases.

* Editable installs do not work with the latest versions of Setuptools (and had
  issues with older versions, too).
* Configuration scikit-build cares about _must_ be specified in ``setup()``
  currently.
* The cache directory (``_skbuild``) may need to be deleted between builds in
  some cases (like rebuilding with a different Python interpreter).

We are also working on improving scikit-build, so there are some upcoming
changes and deprecations:


* All deprecated setuptools/distutils features are also deprecated in
  scikit-build, like the ``test`` command, ``easy_install``, etc.
* Python 3.6
  support is deprecated, as setuptools, pytest, and everything else we use has
  dropped it already.
* Older versions of CMake (<3.15) are not recommended; a future version will
  remove support for older CMake's (along with providing a better mechanism for
  ensuring a proper CMake is available).
* Our primary branch will change to ``main``

If you need any of these features, please open or find an issue explaining what
and why you need something.

History
-------

PyCMake was created at SciPy 2014 in response to general difficulties building
C++ and Fortran based Python extensions across platforms.  It was renamed to
"scikit-build" in 2016.
