Hello ! I see no mention of

pyproject.toml

as an option for project dependency resolving in the documentation, can they be used instead of

requirements.txt

? If so, how? If not, why? And is there any plan to support them?

Hi @Pierre Lecerf i let this slip past myself. @Frost Ming do we have plans to support

pyproject.toml

?

That seems fine, but

pyproject.toml

contains much more than

requirements.txt

, and we can only read a certain field like

project.dependencies

and ignore

project.optional-dependencies

@Frost Ming what's your stance on this general issue? My understanding is that the industry, mostly more mature python projects, have been moving away from

requirements.txt

in favour of the more structured and feature-rich

pyproject.toml

. Where I work we're pushing for the use of BentoML for model serving services, but everywhere else we use

pyproject.toml

for dependency declarations, this makes for a weird discrepancy.
