- natfriedman 7y agoPython is coming!
- postit 7y agoPPA please :)
- giancarlostoro 7y agoThis also would be quite interesting. We are baked into another ppa provider as it is. Theres so many GitHub projects that have a ppa setup elsewhere. If it lives in GH it may as well have a ppa (therefore a deb). I assume programming language packages will be first and later on system level packages if possible?
- pknopf 7y agoDeb/rpm please!
- skohan 7y agoHow is the dependency management situation on Python? I have dabbled in Python for a few projects, and it always felt like there was no "right way" to manage dependencies and environment.
- dagw 7y agoit always felt like there was no "right way" to manage dependencies and environment. That has been a huge problem in the past and it's still somewhat of a problem. However now that pip and virtualenv (renamed venv) are part of the standard python install and pip has gotten a lot better when comes to cross platform installs and handling binary dependencies, hopefully we'll see some more standardization around those tools. That being said, I use conda for managing dependencies and environment for basically all my python development work and have no complaints.
- yhoiseth 7y agoI find Pipenv very nice, but it is controversial.
- woodrowbarlow 7y agothese days all the tooling you need is shipped with the python standard distribution. pip: install a package system-wide venv: create fake system paths locally in your current directory so do everything within a venv and pin your dependency versions into requirements.txt. i've found it to be exactly as powerful as i need, works out of the box, and it's easy.
