Adding git-cliff to PyPI

[radusuciu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is similar in scope to the feature described in #133 and implemented in #134. This would make it seamless for Python projects to install and use git-cliff and would pair nicely with the newly added support for configuration in pyproject.toml. It also fits nicely in the recent rustification of python tooling trend.

Describe the solution you'd like
The approach you described in your blog post for npm can be adapted for PyPI. I think the best approach would be to use maturin. For an example, you can check out this workflow in the ruff project.

I'm willing to take a shot at a PR if you're interested in adding this feature. Thanks!

Hello @radusuciu! 🐻

I have been already thinking about this but couldn't find the time to properly implement it. The way that you described seems feasible to me and it would be absolutely great to have git-cliff on PyPI.

One example project to look at is typos which has a PyPI package. It also has a similar implementation.

I'm willing to take a shot at a PR if you're interested in adding this feature. Thanks!

Please do!

Alright, I'll give it a shot and thank you for sharing typos example!

Found a link to this blog in the typos issue for that change that I wanted to note down here: https://simonwillison.net/2022/May/23/bundling-binary-tools-in-python-wheels/

Hey @radusuciu, I was wondering if you're still interested. I can assign the issue to you if you're planning to work on it :3

I am still interested but this week is very busy with work/life so I cannot work on it. You can go ahead and assign it to me however. The reason I'd like to have this feature is because I want to use git-cliff in more python projects and having it on PyPI makes this way smoother, so I am definitely motivated :)

Awesome, just wanted to let you know that the documentation is moved to docs/ and live on https://git-cliff.org

You can simply create installation/python.md for updating the documentation 🐻

Another interesting thing would be building musl wheels: crate-ci/typos@54042f2
