How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Python Packaging
Monday, June 6th
12:15–13:00
Abstract
Distributing Django apps with standard Python packaging tools has for a long time been dreaded by the community for good reasons -- from bad documentation and confusing conventions to missing integration with Django standards and unreliable infrastructure.
In this talk I show what is being done to fix that and how you can profit from it:
- The past of Python packaging, brief historical overview
- Common pitfalls and gotchas when releasing Python software
- Integration with everyday software development
- The future of packaging with Distutils2
