Problem description

I’m attempting to package the project I’ve been working at https://github.com/djhedges/exit_speed.

This commit shows the pyproject.toml and setup.cfg I wrote as well as the directory structure. https://github.com/djhedges/exit_speed/commit/7e0dd6f39e2ba2187c6c6aae217067b7139268d3#diff-fa602a8a75dc9dcc92261bac5f533c2a85e34fcceaff63b3a3a81d9acde2fc52

I even created a symlink to mimic the src/package layout from the documentation. I also tried setting package_dir and options.packages.find to exit_speed and . with no luck.

ls -l src/exit_speed
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 13 Jan 16 09:59 src/exit_speed -> ../exit_speed
ls -l src/exit_speed/__init__.py 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 668 Jan 16 09:53 src/exit_speed/__init__.py

pyproject.toml

cat pyproject.toml 
[build-system]
requires = [
    "setuptools>=42",
    "wheel"
]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

setup.cfg

[metadata]
name = exit_speed

version = attr:exit_speed.__version__

long_description = file: README.md
long_description_content_type = text/markdown

  License :: OSI Approved :: Apache Software License,
package_dir =
    = src
packages = find:
python_requires = >=3.7

[options.packages.find]
where = src

I’m sure I’m overlooking something silly but any help would be appreciated.
