Hand written parser for PEP 508 to drop dependency on pyparsing

[hrnciar]

Hello,

I opened this issue to let you know that I am working on a handwritten parser for PEP 508. My goal is to drop dependency on pyparsing as discussed here. It is still working in progress so I will follow up later when it's ready.

A very gentle nudge on this @hrnciar. :)

Thanks for the ping :), I've opened draft PR.

I'm curious what the incentive is here. Pyparsing is not problematic for bootstrapping pypa/build using native pep517 build backends. This project and pypa/build itself are the problems (and there is already open PR to convert this project to using flit)

The entire discussion in original thread seems obsolete
