 ## .vscode
 This folder should contain at least a `launch.json` file that provides entry points into the package.  This could be entry points to example programs, typical debug entry points, etc.  Ideally, this will also contain a `settings.json` with folder specific VS Code settings.
 
+All standard invocations that developers should be using MUST be saved into a `launch.json` entry.
+
 ## Python Packages
 Almost all code should be organized into packages.  This facilitates easy code reuse.  See https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/ for more information on how to use packages in Python.
 
 ## tests
-Tests should ideally be kept in an isolated folder.  This example uses `pytest`, see https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.0.x/ for information on how to use `pytest`.

 ## Jupyter Notebooks
 Jupyter Notebooks are a great way to add interactive reports or documentation.  There is an example here.
 
-## *.code-workspace
-This is created by going to `File`->`Save Workspace As` in VS Code.  This allows us to easily open the same development environment across computers and operating systems.  Use this as the root of your development environment.
-
-You'll also notice here that there are some recommended extensions.  This allows everyone on your team to have a consistent toolchain for how to interact with your code.  See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-marketplace#_workspace-recommended-extensions for instructions for how to configure these.
-
 ## README.md
 This is a critical file to include.  This should be an introduction to your repository.  It should be a birds-eye view of what your repo is and how to use it, with links to the appropriate lower-level documentation.
 
-## setup.py
-This is the original way to package Python projects, which we probably still prefer.  However, in general, if you can, you should probably start using the newer packaging tools (`pyproject.toml`)
+## pyproject.toml
+This is the standard way to package Python projects.  This is now structured using Poetry, see https://python-poetry.org/ for tool documentation.
 
 See https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/ and https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/setupscript.html for more information about each tool.
