Update install

[oruebel]

• Use pyproject.toml instead of setup.py
• Replace use of versioneer
• Make release on PyPy (optional for now)

@mavaylon1 since you dealt with moving to pyproject.toml and replacing versioneer on the other repos, could you do this for this repo as well. This not a high pressure issue right now, but would be nice to do in the next few month.

Can do

Versioneer is no longer supported and we have stopped using it in other NWB/HDMF repos.

It seems like it is blocking the use of nwb-project-analytics with Python 3.12. I don't think we need to use it here because this package is not released on PyPI and does not need to be specially versioned. I also think we do not need to release this package on PyPI.

FWIW there is 3.12 support in versioneer, might be just not released?
https://github.com/python-versioneer/python-versioneer/blob/master/pyproject.toml

Just use master version?

[rly]

I see. The latest versioneer indeed supports 3.12, but personally I prefer to have one fewer script to maintain. If we want dynamic versioning, I suggest we use hatch-vcs which we use in pynwb/hdmf (it's slightly different but does enough of the job).

A related issue is that the repo currently lists requirements in two places:

nwb-project-analytics/setup.py

Lines 19 to 32 in 91df03e

	reqs = [
	'numpy',
	'pandas',
	'ruamel.yaml',
	'GitPython',
	'PyGithub',
	'setuptools',
	'matplotlib',
	'tqdm',
	'requests',
	'hdmf-docutils',
	'cloc',
	'dandi'
	]

and

nwb-project-analytics/requirements.txt

Lines 1 to 12 in 91df03e

	numpy
	pandas
	ruamel.yaml
	setuptools
	GitPython
	matplotlib
	cloc # https://github.com/AlDanial/cloc
	requests
	hdmf-docutils # used to programmatically create RST pages
	PyGithub # For issue response time analysis
	tqdm # For issue response time analysis
	dandi

In #19 I added dandi to the requirements.txt but not setup.py which in turn broke the build for the nwb-overview website. It would be nice to have requirements maintained in a single place.
