Episode #436, published Wed, Nov 1, 2023, recorded Thu, Sep 21, 2023

How well do you know your Python packaging tools? These are things like pip which install your project's dependencies and their dependencies and so on. In this mix, we have more modern tools such as Poetry, Flit, Hatch and others. And even tools outside of Python itself which may attempt to manage Python itself in addition to the libraries. To make sense of all of this, we welcome back Anna-Lena Popkes for an unbiased evaluation of environment and packaging tools.
