I gather this is the more modern approach, plus hopefully it will unbreak Sphinx (which seems to be trying to import `setup.py` and then exploding because `setup.py` thinks it is being run as a script). I suspect this doesn't actually produce a usable package when not installed as editable, but that's probably okay for now.

This is an LTS release, so will be supported until at least April 2028. The release notes[1] have no notable changes, and I didn't run into any issues when briefly clicking around. [1] https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/releases/5.2/

Switch to pyproject.toml, which AIUI is the Python packaging approach of the future, and also
setup.pyseems somewhat incompatible with Sphinx. This probably doesn't produce a real package that'll run when not installed as editable, but that seems okay (and I kinda suspect that didn't work before either).Also switch to Django 5.2, which doesn't appear to have any significant changes from Django 5.1. However, 5.1 left support in December 2025.
