A nice [read](https://www.stuartellis.name/articles/python-modern-practices) by Stuart on Python development tools.
This introduced me to the [`pyproject.toml`](https://www.pyopensci.org/python-package-guide/package-structure-code/pyproject-toml-python-package-metadata.html) configuration file, which is more comprehensive than a requirements file.
It's something I'll need to research a bit more before I'm ready to confidently adopt it.
