Yesterday the RA-96022 - #Pypa's plane - bravely left #Moscow at 14:16, only to fearlessly return this morning at 01:50.

Of course #Peskov said that #putin never left, so surely the pilot was just getting some fresh air.

#PyPA #virtualenv is yet another #Python project that "optimizes" its test suite by using time-machine. Since time-machine works on CPython only, it also keeps supporting #freezegun but you are allowed to use it on PyPy only now.

I really do wonder if this "optimization" actually makes anything faster, and if it outweighs the added complexity. The complexity also falls on downstreams (#Gentoo).

But that's modern development for you! "Shiny! Must have it!"

Ok, it seems that github3.py is the first victim that I know of, of the war PyPI maintainers are waging against PyPA standards. Big sigh.

TIL that `wheel` is not needed as build requirement when using `setuptools`! https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/quickstart.html#basic-use

> Historically this documentation has unnecessarily listed `wheel` in the `requires` list, and many projects still do that. This is not recommended.

Today I was "migrate to `pyproject.toml` as a service"

I’m thinking we should create a new #Python Packaging Authority who’se’re with me? #PyPA

—and that's how we ended up with a giant wave of eager newcomers before the installation scripts were dialed in.

Self-contained installers for personal computers have never been Python's strong spot. Requiring GPU-specific versions of machine learning libraries for multiple platforms is extra challenging.

If you have any #python application distribution expertise to spare for cool image generation software, please send it our way! #PyPA

"Let's face it, the "PyPA’s stance" is just an opinion of a small number of community members which clearly contradicts the process actually happening in the community and the request for that being highly spread."

Good morning folks! I'll be at the NYC #PyPA sprints, hacking on auditwheel and maybe a bit of manylinux today!
