It tries to require less thought about packaging and help you avoid common mistakes. . Flit supports PEP 517 Python packaging. . Make the easy things easy and the hard things possible is an old motto from the Perl community. Flit is entirely focused on the easy things part of that, and leaves the hard things up to other tools. . Specifically, the easy things are pure Python packages with no build steps (neither compiling C code, nor bundling Javascript, etc.). The vast majority of packages on PyPI are like this: plain Python code, with maybe some static data files like icons included.
