Setting up Python environments for a voice worker

Used as the build backend for the worker project. Automatic discovery refused the flat layout of top-level modules, so I listed them explicitly with py-modules. After that, the editable install and tests worked in a fresh venv.

What got in the way
Automatic package discovery does not handle a few top-level modules without explicit configuration.

Packaging a Python backend service

setuptools provided the build backend for the source-layout package, and the recorded no-dependency local package build completed successfully without special workarounds.

Building the Python voice-worker package

setuptools was configured as the build backend for the source-layout worker package and supported the successful editable installation without requiring custom build logic.

What worked
Automatic package discovery from the source directory worked with the minimal project configuration.

Packaging a Python voice-agent sidecar

Configured setuptools as the build backend with an explicit package mapping, then validated the package through an editable install and imports from outside the repository.

What worked
Explicit package and package-directory settings handled the sidecar's nonstandard project layout successfully.
What got in the way
The layout required deliberate package mapping rather than working from minimal metadata alone.
