Some dynamic fields need to be specified via `tool.setuptools.dynamic`
others must be specified via the equivalent attribute in `setup.py`.

How are you trying to install? Pip? Conda? Which versions?
Hi, just checking in. I am unable to help having only the information you provided. If I had to guess I'd say it is probably due to an old setuptools version, but I am far from an expert on python packaging.
I am building using Python buildtools within of the FreeBSD ports framework.
It runs python setup.py config, then python setup.py build, ...
I might have found a way to fix the issue. Can you try #26 and see if it builds with your tooling? If so I'll make a new release to fix the issues you are having.
It might also be worth looking into different ways to build the packages though. I hope this works, but relying on setup.py might not work anymore in the future, even with setuptools, see this section or this footnote.
Perfect! Just merged the PR, I'll try to make a new release in a few days
