Python is fucking phenomenal. Packaging python is an exercise in frustration until you become a level 3 wizard.

  It really isn't that hard to package for Python. Certainly a lot easier than packaging for Debian, and not much different from packaging for Ruby or Node. The bad part is the Setuptools documentation, which is slowly improving, but is (and has been for years) so bad that almost nobody can learn from reading it.

    I think we might be in agreement because I see that these >>Packaging python is an exercise in frustration >>Setuptools documentation [...] is [...] so bad that almost nobody can learn from reading it and these >> until you become a level 3 wizard >> It really isn't that hard to package for Python. as being fundamentally equivalent statements.
