I’ve been using Python for 20 years and have never used either of those libraries. People _do_ use Python for more than accessing web services and processing HTML, you know.
Besides, the stdlib, and Python packaging in general, is unquestionably light years ahead of NPM.
- jessaustin 7y agoOh wow am I glad to read that! What is the python equivalent of "npm publish"? What do I need to install and configure in order for that to work?
- Cacti 7y agoIt’s “twine publish”... And yes the setup is more extensive than NPM, which is exactly why the PyPi ecosystem isn’t the steaming pile of shit that is NPM.
- jessaustin 7y agoHaha "twine". [0] Seems like a real mainstream tool there. Of course I know from previous python debacles that while npm just uploads the directory structure that already works in development, with python one has several obscure and changeable package preparation steps to perform first. You're using some colorful language ITT. "unquestionably light years ahead", "steaming pile of shit", etc. This sort of idiom is good for convincing children. Whom are you trying to convince?

- hprotagonist 7y agopersonally i always pip install attrs numpy pendulum, but my criticism is more or less the same. The stdlib is of variable quality. I'm happy it's there, but there are absolutely crufty old dragons in there these days, and it updates very slowly compared to pypi.
