python packaging: Help adding simple package with compiled steps to our repository

[lwasser]

We'd like a simple example of a package built with compiled steps. if we can do this with hatch and plugins that would be ideal!

this might related to some of @ucodery other issues opened in our packaging guide so i'm going to move it there. but this issue originally was in the examplePy repo where i was testing various build front and back ends.

the goal of this will be to demonstrate a simple (ish) way to create a non pure python package. we can then build some content around best practices in the future. but the demo will be a great place to start.

Note: in the examplePy repo i have an example of using pdm+meson-python. i'd like to create a version in our packaging guide using hatch. today i heard great things about hatch plugins.

Simple extension package now lives at examples/extension-hatch/
