Background
The project currently relies solely on setup.py to declare its dependencies and entry points. This prevents full compatibility with PEP 660 editable installs and modern tooling like uv sync and pip install -e ., causing some dependencies to be skipped. We need a pyproject.toml so that build back-ends and dependency managers can understand our metadata natively.
Changes
Add pyproject.toml using PEP 621 to declare:
Project metadata: name, version, description, requires-python
dependencies: migrated from install_requires
optional-dependencies: migrated from extras_require
scripts: replaces entry_points for the exo console script
package-data: includes tinychat assets under exo
Retain the existing setup.py for backward compatibility; it can be removed once downstream consumers have migrated.
Update CI workflows (if any) to run pip install -e . and/or uv sync against both setup.py and pyproject.toml flows.
