- rrdharan 5y agoIs it fair to call this non-profit funded? The money comes from Bloomberg and Google.
- Godel_unicode 5y agoThe PSF, which is the organization hiring for this job, is a non-profit. As with virtually all non-profits, the PSF is funded largely by donations.
- cmlag 5y agoThe Steering Council is Microsoft, Google, Bloomberg and has already stifled free development and opinions. I expect that corporations will get even more power with full time employees and very little will be accomplished.
- Master_Odin 5y agoCan the python packaging story get much worse? It's a huge blemish and way too much fragmentation and after market solutions, and of course the mental overhead of virtualenvs or else you clobber your environment. One thing I keep hoping will get advanced in is PEP-582 to incorporate a local __pymodules__ folder since it would be nice if getting a python project up and running was as easy as node or php.
- uranusjr 5y ago> Can the python packaging story get much worse? Of course it can get much worse, see where Python packaging was ~5 years ago.
- coldtea 5y agoYou mean they will stiffle all those wonderful things accomplished the last 30 years in the Python Packaging ecosystem? /s
- acdha 5y ago> has already stifled free development and opinions. This is a very strong statement. Do you have any details about what you're claiming or supporting evidence?
- kaesar14 5y agoLol someone taking a little more power with Python packaging would be nice
