Why do people here claim that the PSF has any leverage to stop tools being developed?
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoI don’t want the PSF to declare tools cannot be made. I want the PSF to pick a winner so we can finally consolidate on a workflow. Just today, I was helping a beginner setup Python on their laptop. A nightmare collection of tooling complexity (so you have Python, but you need to worry about virtual environments, to do that, I use this combination of pipx+virtualenvwrapper, but to do actual projects, you need Poetry, but…) all the while noting that this is an opinionated workflow that I happen to utilize because of the tradeoffs that matter to me. Ask someone else, and they will definitely have a different configuration. Entire first lesson was just to get Python installed with tons of elided complexity. I should be able to point to a document on Python.org that says, “This is the way.” Yet for decades, they have refused to take a stand.
