There's stuff going on in Python packaging and pyproject.toml.
Brett and I talk about some upcoming work on Python packaging, such as:
editable installs
the need for standardization
is a feature of setuptools that's so
tools like flit can create stub setup.py files for editable installs
configuration of other tools in pyproject.toml
originally not supposed to happen, was supposed to be only a build tool
black and other tools use it anyway
now it's ok
And then get off on tangents and talk about:
why it's good to have packages like pip, toml, setuptools, wheel, etc not part of the standard library
should we remove some stuff from the standard library
the standard library using unittest for testing the standard library
why not hypothesis
I didn't bring up "why not pytest?" but you know I was thinking it.
why CPython and not C++Python
