Description
Hello comtypesers,
As comtypes is currently experiencing a new lease of life (thanks particularly to the efforts of @junkmd), I wanted to gauge the level of interest from contributors in adding in new tooling to support the development process. There is now such a rich ecosystem of packaging tools including things like tox/nox for isolating and automating test builds, formatters like black (that can be run with pre-commit), linters like pylint or ruff, setuptools_scm for version management, and towncrier for generating the changelog.
While I am not suggesting the immediate or wholesale adoption of all these options, I think that incorporating some of these tools could make the development process easier for new contributors to get started with, and probably simplify things for everybody. However, I realise that this would also require a certain amount of work, and also some discussion to try and achieve consensus on what tools to use, and that may not appeal to everyone involved. So I decided to open this issue to see whether I get enthusiastic support, naked hostility, or studied indifference. Let me know what you all think...
