This essentially ports
PyWENOto usemeson-pythonhttps://meson-python.readthedocs.io to build instead of setuptools. I went withmeson-pythonbecause that seems to be whatnumpy,scipyandmatplotlibare using these days, so it's fairly well-supported.Some additional non-trivial changes:
pyproject.tomlway to configure things:setup.pyis essentially a stub now.versionandgit_version: it now relies on https://docs.python.org/3/library/importlib.metadata.html to get version information.sphinx_rtd_themeinstead so that it looks less old 😁Ran the tests and the examples and everything seems to be working fine, but it may need a careful look so it doesn't just "work on my machine".
I know
PyWENOis mostly dead, unfortunately, but I was using it to double-check another implementation and thought it would be useful fix this upstream. It was actually failing a build step because it wasn't declaringsetup_requires=["numpy"]or something like that.
