It wasn't really mentioned in the linked article, but at the start of the year there was a lot of very heated discussion about Python, packaging, Pipenv, what was (and wasn't) an "official" packaging tool, etc. See, for example, this earlier discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18612590 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18612590
Obviously there are multiple sides to that debate, but I personally came to the conclusion that Reitz had behaved quite poorly there. It's interesting to see his name come up again, here.
- smnrchrds 7y agoInterestingly, Pipenv is no longer in the list of projects on his website: https://www.kennethreitz.org/projects https://www.kennethreitz.org/projects What that means, I don't know.
- loulouxiv 7y agoThe hype around pipenv is gone now that more people actually tried to use it in real life project and foubd out that it was not the storytelled solution to all your problems
- smnrchrds 7y agoSure, but I still don't get why it is missing from the project list. The list is not that curated. It includes Autoenv for example, a project whose Github README [0] says, "Note: you should probably use direnv instead. Simply put, it is higher quality software. But, autoenv is still great, too. Maybe try both? :)" [0] https://github.com/kennethreitz/autoenv https://github.com/kennethreitz/autoenv
