# `pep517_backend` in-tree build backend The `pep517_backend.hooks` importable exposes callables declared by PEP 517 and PEP 660 and is integrated into `pyproject.toml`'s `[build-system].build-backend` through `[build-system].backend-path`. # Design considerations `__init__.py` is to remain empty, leaving `hooks.py` the only entrypoint exposing the callables. The logic is contained in private modules. This is to prevent import-time side effects.
