  ValueError: Unable to determine which files to ship inside the wheel using the following heuristics: https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/plugins/builder/wheel/#default-file-selection
  
  The most likely cause of this is that there is no directory that matches the name of your project (kaggle).
  
  At least one file selection option must be defined in the `tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel` table, see: https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/config/build/
  
  As an example, if you intend to ship a directory named `foo` that resides within a `src` directory located at the root of your project, you can define the following:
  
  [tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
  packages = ["src/foo"]
  [end of output]
  
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

Encountered error while generating package metadata.

See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

Any idea whats going on?
