When you add authors and maintainers you need to use a format that will look like a Python list with a dictionary within it:
The `description` is just a string like the other values you've set:

`authors = [{ name = "Firstname lastname", email = "[email protected]" }]`

:::{admonition} Author names & emails
:class: note

There is a quirk with PyPI for authors that have names but not emails in the pyproject.toml. If you are missing the email for one or more authors or maintainers, like this:

```toml
maintainers = [{ name = "Firstname lastname", email = "[email protected]" }, { name = "Firstname lastname" }]
maintainers = [
{ name = "Firstname lastname", email = "[email protected]" },
{ name = "Firstname lastname" }
]
```

Then we suggest that you only provide names in your list of names to ensure that everything renders properly on your PyPI page - like this:

```toml
maintainers = [{ name = "Firstname lastname"}, { name = "Firstname lastname" }]
maintainers = [
{ name = "Firstname lastname"},
{ name = "Firstname lastname" }
]
```

don't have emails for everyone, we suggest that you only add names.

### Step 3: Add requires-python to your [project] table

Finally, add the `requires-python` field to your `pyproject.toml` `[project]` table. The `requires-python` field, helps pip understand the lowest version of Python that you package supports when it's installed. It is thus a single value.
