Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe/meta.yaml) and found it was in an excellent condition.
I do have some suggestions for making it better though...

For recipe/meta.yaml:

• No valid build backend found for Python recipe for package packaging using pip. Python recipes using pip need to explicitly specify a build backend in the host section. If your recipe has built with only pip in the host section in the past, you likely should add setuptools to the host section of your recipe.
• noarch: python recipes should almost always follow the syntax in our documentation. For the host section of the recipe, you should almost always use python {{ python_min }} for the python entry. For the run section of the recipe, you should almost always use python >={{ python_min }} for the python entry. For the test.requires section of the recipe, you should almost always use python {{ python_min }} for the python entry. You may need to override the python_min variable in the conda_build_config.yaml/variants.yaml if the package requires a newer Python version than the currently supported minimum version on conda-forge.
• PyPI default URL is now pypi.org, and not pypi.io. You may want to update the default source url.

Can this be merged?

@conda-forge/packaging for context, this is required for hatchling v1.26.1 to be released (c.f. conda-forge/hatchling-feedstock#61).

[matthewfeickert]

@conda-forge/core, sorry to ping you all, but could one of you merge this please as it is blocking a few other packages?

@matthewfeickert, this feedstock is a bit "understaffed", would you mind adding yourself to maintainers here?

@h-vetinari While I feel underqualified to be a maintainer on a core part of Python infrastructure, I guess the real responsibility lies with the PyPA team at https://github.com/pypa/packaging. I'll add myself in a follow up PR to address the noarch: python linter critiques, but as @ofek is actually part of the PyPA if he doesn't mind I'll add him as well.

Sure that's fine, I will also post in Discord.

@matthewfeickert you don't have to be a member of the upstream package to help maintain a package on conda-forge.

Oh I very much know that (given hep-packaging-coordination/packaging-hep-simulation-stack#1 among other things). packaging just feels "big" enough to be something that gave me pause being responsible for [at all].
