@Mercelisvaughan Apart from the official documentation other resources may be also be useful, so feel free to add them here if you find something useful.
Another idea would be to use a cookiecutter template (more info about cookiecutter templates here) but I think that it may be too much to start with. Nevertheless if you want you can also explore this option as as it is a nice idea and useful to know of.

For this project we'll be using a pyproject.toml file as described in python documentation page "Writing your pyproject.toml". Pyproject.tml is the standard way of storing metadata for packaging related tools as described in PEP 621.
