Port all packages from setup.py to pyproject.toml

[Copilot]

Migrates 279 SDK packages from setup.py to PEP 621 pyproject.toml format, removing setup.py and sdk_packaging.toml files across the SDK. Also cleans up 23 orphaned sdk_packaging.toml files from packages already using pyproject.toml.

Migration script

eng/scripts/migrate_setup_py_to_pyproject.py — new standalone migration tool:

• Parses setup.py via AST + execution to extract all metadata
• Creates/updates pyproject.toml with [build-system], [project], [project.urls], [tool.setuptools.*] sections
• Merges existing [packaging] from sdk_packaging.toml and preserves existing [tool.*] settings (mypy, isort, azure-sdk-build, etc.)
• Deduplicates find_packages(exclude=[...]) entries
• Skips: namespace packages (nspkg), deprecated meta-packages, C-extension packages, test packages
• Supports --dry-run, --keep-setup-py, single package (--package-path) or all (--all)

Tooling updates

• packaging_tools/templates/packaging_files/pyproject.toml — new Jinja2 template replacing setup.py for future package scaffolding
• packaging_tools/__init__.py — build_packaging_by_package_name now skips setup.py generation, removes existing setup.py, and merges into (rather than overwrites) existing pyproject.toml
• packaging_tools/generate_utils.py — generate_packaging_and_ci_files unconditionally deletes setup.py when pyproject.toml is present

Result

• 382 packages now have pyproject.toml with a [project] section (all parse correctly via ParsedSetup.from_path())
• Remaining setup.py files: nspkg packages (27), deprecated meta-packages (azure, azure-mgmt, azure-keyvault), and C-extension package (azure-storage-extensions)

Before:

# pyproject.toml — only tool settings, no build metadata
[tool.azure-sdk-build]
pyright = false

# setup.py — all packaging metadata lived here
setup(name="azure-data-tables", version=version, install_requires=[...], ...)

After:

# pyproject.toml — complete PEP 621 package definition
[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=77.0.3", "wheel"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

[project]
name = "azure-data-tables"
dependencies = ["azure-core>=1.29.4", "yarl>=1.0", ...]
dynamic = ["version", "readme"]

[tool.setuptools.dynamic.version]
attr = "azure.data.tables._version.VERSION"

[tool.azure-sdk-build]
pyright = false

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
