Migration to Poetry and Package Structure Improvements

This PR migrates the project to Poetry for better dependency management and PyPI publishing capabilities, introducing automated releases.

Changes

• Added pyproject.toml for Poetry configuration
• Added more comprehensive README.md with feature and usage documentation
• Added GitHub Actions workflow for automated PyPI publishing
• Added release.sh script for streamlined version management
• Added .gitignore for Python projects
• Updated license specification to Apache-2.0

Removed Files

• Removed setup.py and setup.cfg (replaced by pyproject.toml)
• Removed .version file (version now managed in pyproject.toml)

Project Structure

Project structure cleaned up to:

xian-core/
├── docs/
├── protos/
├── src/
│   ├── abci/
│   ├── cometbft/
│   ├── gogoproto/
│   ├── tendermint/

├── LICENSE
├── Makefile
├── README.md
├── poetry.lock
├── pyproject.toml
└── release.sh

This change maintains all existing functionality while modernizing the package management and release process. The package can now be properly published to PyPI while maintaining the existing import structure (e.g., from xian.processor import TxProcessor).

This can now be started up with:

python3.11 -m venv xian-venv
source xian-venv/bin/activate
pip install xian-core
xian up

Note

TODO

• The execution of the configure script still needs to be handled properly
• The command xian up --bds doesn't work right now

Note

This now assumes that the cometbft executable is either in the PATH or in a standard location like /usr/local/bin/

It's all working except xian up --bds. Have to fix that.
