The day packaging for distros will be easy, we will use it. Right now, making a deb is hard. Isolating 2 projects with different deb verions is hard. Distributing debs is hard. Upgrading your OS but not your python debs is hards.
Then rinse and repeat for red hat, arch, nix, mac and windows ?

- eigengrau 5y agoSince Nix packages are distribution-independent, once you have it packaged with Nix, you could theoretically skip packaging for Ubuntu etc., but of course that may raise the bar of entry for your users.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoI doesn't work on windows, so you lose half of your users. And WSL is not the answer to that. Also, unless you repackage thousands of compiled c extensions and you play well with anaconda and can plug into the entire python ecosystem of platforms such as heroku, python anywhere, databrick and so on, you then lose 90%
