How to improve Python packaging, or why fourteen tools are at least tw

A journey to the world of Python packaging, a visit to the competition, a hopeful look at the future, and highlights from a disappointing discussion.

I stumbled upon this while researching package management options for python, and found it a really interesting read.

    In my experience it has been a pleasure to use it as well, even though it is quite new.
