Vote on adopting the hatch project under pypa
by Bernat Gabor 11 May '22

11 May '22

Hatch 1.0 has been released - see https://discuss.python.org/t/hatch-1-0-0-is-available/15359 The project has a test environment management side, but also a build backend under the hatchling name. The source repository is at https://github.com/ofek/hatch. I'll start the vote with +1 to it (I only used the hatchling side of it, but that works great and supports all packaging PEPs adopted, so it's a good replacement to setuptools), Bernat

Python Packaging Vision and Strategy

Hello, My name is Shamika and I am the Packaging Project Manager at the PSF. This is my first post here. As part of this role, I am planning to initiate an exercise to define the Python Packaging Vision and Strategy. I have created this document to identify objectives, stakeholders and expected timeline for this initiative- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T4IYZT7iFTlJm3N8wh8RC58noOFG2JbBI-8DYxY… As PyPA maintainers are one of the key stakeholders, I wanted to reach out and see what the maintainers would like to get out of this exercise. I also wanted to ensure I have identified all possible objectives. Please can you review the document and let me know if you have suggestions around the objectives, possible themes and anything else that you would find useful or would improve the results. Please forward this email to anyone who should be included in this discussion. Shamika

+1. Shows great promise. I’ve provided support for it in scikit-hep/cookie for a while, the plugins sound exciting, and it might be the first “all-in-one” to support multiple environments and proper binary builds (via plugins). Haven’t played with it enough yet, but already like hatchling. Plus pipx already uses it. :) Henry Sent from my iPhone

Vote on comissioning new PyPA logo
by Bernat Gabor 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

I'm calling for a vote to create a logo for Python Packaging Authority (and sub-projects). Detailed discussion and information might be found at https://discuss.python.org/t/selecting-a-logo-for-the-pypa/14657, but here's a quick outline. Currently, the logo as shown on Python Packaging Authority is just the PSF > Python logo and the word pypa written beside it (see > https://github.com/pypa). We could create something more unique that > identifies Python packaging tools. For reference here’s what rust is doing > Create a more rustic icon for Cargo: > https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/4446. > My idea would be to have a Python snake encircling a box and leave the > content of the box to be a stylized capital P. The P here would represent > both the language Python and also the P from the Packaging > group/team/authority (whichever we choose to go by). Furthermore, child > projects under PyPA could replace the box content with their own sub-logos, > e.g. the build tool could put a gear icon into it. Relevant to the discussion is also The Packaging Platypus - > https://discuss.python.org/t/the-packaging-platypus/1939. I find the > platypus great as an overall logo for Python packaging, but sadly it’s not > really reusable for packaging projects and doesn’t translate well as a > favicon either due to the lower pixel count available in there. Dustin Ingram said that the PyPA does home some funds via Tidelift and PSF to allocate for creating this. The vote is to see if we all agree that this is something we should do. The logistics of choosing the design and contractor will be done separately if this vote goes through. Thanks, Bernat
