I need to look at the TOML spec again, but I think it should be pretty reasonably possible to put the contents of nose2.cfg into [tool.nose2] in pyproject.toml
We'll have to pull in a TOML parser for this, but it looks like toml supports old pythons, so it won't be much of an issue.

I'd be happy to review a PR adding support. (I'm unlikely to work on this myself unless there's an indication of general demand.)

It’s more of a “it’s the correct way to do it” thing, i.e. examples should be updated and the old way should be deprecated. I’m not using nose2, I’m just maintaining a list of projects that have support already.

Gotcha. In that case, thanks for being a good citizen and flagging this for me. 👍

Since nose2 is a "maintenance first" project at this stage in its life, I just try to set clear expectations on these things.

Definitely want to see this happen.

Via #596, #606 I now have this merged into main.

I'll be releasing this week, at which point I'll close this issue and anyone interested should hopefully see a ping that pyproject.toml support is available.

v0.15.0 is now available, with support for reading config from tool.nose2 in pyproject.toml. 🎉

Please open issues if you see any problems with the new version!
