[Distutils] PyCon Colombia 2017 keynote on packaging

[David Cournapeau]

Hi,

I was invited to give a talk at PyCon Colombia 2017, and I did it on
packaging. I thought people here would be interested to know about it.

I insisted on the need for packaging to get software into as many hands as
possible, gave a history of the packaging ecosystem, advised people to use
packaging.python.org suggestions, and mentioned the manylinux effort. I
tried to be as objective as possible there and mention the key people
involved.

I also talked a bit about what can still be improved, and focused on 3
aspects, none of which are new nor particularly insightful for people here:
infrastructure for automatic wheel building, better decoupling of packaging
and build, and maybe more controversially, the need for tools to remove
python from the equation.
