flit as tool to package and upload python-briar-wrapper to pypi?

So far I quite ejoyed flit for packaging and uploading pypi packages:

https://pypi.org/project/flit/

@nicoalt if you are ok with it, I would set it for this repo.

Never heard of it before, but if you think it's a good thing, sure, we can use it. Thanks for setting it up!

Regarding #1 (comment 39517):

Got the same message when I tried to push the package infos needed for flit. ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)

Could you wait with doing this push until I/Michael pushed the Briar GTK Git stuff? I want to take along all the Git history so we can use features like git blame etc. Afterwards I would highly appreciate your work with setting up flit.

I find it super convenient - also pushed briar_repl today with it (but I need to republish so it really works as intended - some import fixes) sure, no problem. I will re-clone and do the setup again - it is not a big deal anyway.

@fphemeral I've made all the changes I wanted to do in my personal fork of briar-wrapper. Feel free to clone that repository and make your changes there until Michael pushes it to this repo.

ah thx for the pointer - will have a look!

As far as I can tell, we can rip off all the meson stuff left in briar-wrapper and use plain flit to build the project.
