I am a software engineer, who likes to work on improving the experience of using software for other humans.

I have a (somewhat unnecessarily) custom setup for managing my dotfiles and I made a nice improvement to it today.

The pip team has released pip 24.1b1 which contains a lot of significant improvements and bug fixes.

I’m someone who gets a lot of GitHub notifications – this week had >100 individual notifications.

I maintain quite a few Python packages and they all have development workflows as well as release processes that are different in various ways.

My response to the discussion topic posed in Python Packaging Strategy Discussion Part 1 had become quite long, so I decided to move it to write a blog post instead.

Note: I’ve updated this to reflect how this happened, on recommendation from PDM’s author.

The way the Python packaging community is organised is something that I’ve explained in multiple places, in multiple contexts.

In late Dec 2022, I played around with ChatGPT in an evening.

What I messed up On Dec 27th 2022 ~9pm UTC, I published an update to the “about” page on this website that (wrongly) claimed: My work has been recognised by the Python Software Foundation, and I have been awarded the PSF Community Service Award in 2020.

When installing with pip (or from PyPI in general), wheels are much faster than source distributions, even for pure-Python projects.

Work I did (Jun 2022) Software sphinx-theme-builder: 0.2.0a15 release. sphinx-basic-ng: 0.0.1a12 release.

Work I did (May 2022) Software Release pip 22.1!

Work I did (April 2022) Technical Release pip 22.1.b1 Release Furo 2022.04.07 Release release-helper 1.0.0 Improve the presentation of upgrade prompts from pip.

Work I did Things have been fairly bumpy over the last little while.

The information on this page has been consolidated into this page.

Work I did These last two months have been fairly dense!

It’s been a while since I posted one of these!

I made an impulse decision to rework my personal website, to port it over to Hugo, and away from Jekyll.

Alrighty!

I’m actually really good at procrastinating things when I’m uncomfortable. - me, back in Feb 2020 Prelude As you’re likely aware, the human world has been quite a different place since my last post here.

This is an attempt to summarize the broader software architecture around dependency resolution in pip and how testing is being done around this area.
