Note this post is 8700 words long and it doesn't really delve into how bad it is to build packages on Python; mostly it's about how bad it is to use them. It's an excellent writeup and the length is necessary. My guess is a post about creating packages would need to be 2x as long for the same level of detail.
- daneah 4y agoI don't agree with all the points from the article, but I do agree there is a depth of learning to be had about creating packages (and doing it repeatably/scalably). I wrote a book about creating Python packages that just came out: https://pypackages.com https://pypackages.com Even this book doesn't cover all options in each area, and it skips almost wholly over conda because I have no personal experience using it. conda and the work in the scientific community adds complexity both to the creation and the consumption side of packaging, and that's one area I'm not sure this post covers all the nuance of when considering how a "one size fits all" solution might work in practice.
