How to improve Python packaging, or why fourteen tools are at least twelve too many (chriswarrick.com)

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

I like python as a language but this mess is something that needs to be addressed for me to consider python for future projects. I can't imagine how confusing it must be for new users.

Our organisation has gone all in on Poetry, no regrets so far. The UX and dlscoverability is just so much better than the other options.

I do look jealously at languages that have great official tools like go and cargo though.

There are tools like Huak and Rye in development.

[–] stilgar 1 points 2 years ago

Yes I'm following Huak, it looks promising. But as Spott says, just because a tool exists, its not the same as having the tool which is fully supported, standardised and everyone uses.

IMO Python could have this but as the posted article discusses there is no movement or will to make it happen.
